NOTE:
-
In conjunction with the "voltage underload" test, the specific gravity test gives a good indication of the battery condition.
-
The temperature of the electrolyte in the battery must be at least 10 degrees C.
-
The specific gravity can be checked immediately after charging battery.
The specific gravity must be checked in all battery cells as follows:
-
Switch off ignition.
-
Remove all battery plugs (battery cell sealing plugs).
