Battery
1. Use hydrometer to check battery charge daily
or weekly, depending on frequency of use. If
the battery charge drops below 25% of full
charge (S.G. below 1.155 as corrected to
80°F) the battery must be recharged. Refer to
step 2 before charging battery.
3. Charge battery at one of the following charge
rates. The slow charge rate is preferred.
22 hours @ 5 amps
25 hours @ 20 amps
22 hours @ 50 amps
2. Check the electrolyte level weekly. If battery
charge is low, add water to bring electrolyte
level just above plates.
If battery is fully charged, add water to raise
electrolyte to full mark in each cell.
