Battery: Testing and Inspection
Battery Charging
BATTERY CHARGING
CAUTION: When batteries are being charged, an explosive gas forms beneath the cover of each cell. Do not smoke near batteries on charge or which
have recently been charged.
Do not break live circuits at the terminals of the batteries on charge. A spark will occur where the live circuit is broken.
Keep all open flames away from the battery.
Battery electrolyte temperature may temporarily be allowed to rise to 55° C (131° F). Increase of electrolyte temperature above 55° C (131° F) is
harmful to the battery, causing deformation of battery cell, decrease in life of battery, etc.
CHARGE RATE
If the battery specific gravity is below 1.220, the battery should be charged as outlined below.
When the battery fluid specific gravity reaches 1.250 - 1.290 and the constant is maintained for more than an hour, charging should be stopped.
NOTE: If the battery is charged, the battery should be replaced; do not overcharge.
