Battery Servicing
Battery maintenance schedules will vary with equipment and
battery types.
Follow the equipment manufacturer’s instructions.
Gravity of the batteries
The battery charge condition is judged by the electrolyte gravity
measurement.
Periodically measure the electrolyte gravity of the batteries.
For the internal check follow the equipment manufacturer’s
standard.
The relationship between the electrolyte specific gravity and the
battery conditions are as follows:
