15.5.8 wific Gravity Test
The specific gravity of the electrolyte determines the level of the float in the liquid. With the float in a high position
the specific gravity is high and when the specific gravity is low the float sinks to the lower position.
Using
a hydrometer the specific gravity readings are taken when the liquid level crosses the scale on float. This should
give a accurate indication of the state charge of the battery.
The volume and the specific gravity of the electrolyte varies with the change in temperature.
15.5.9 Electrolyte Temperature Correctkm
For every 10- below 15% subtract 0.007 from the hydrometer reading, and for every 10°C above 15OC add 0.007 to
the hydrometer reading.
Note: Use only distilled water for topping up electrolyte. The electrolyte must not exceed 51.66OC during charging.
If after 30 minutes charging the battery current is not equal or greater than 3A, dispose of the battery.
15.5.10 Heahh and Sakty Precautions
As batteries contain sulphuric acid and explosive mixtures of hydrogen and oxygen gases, it is strongly recommended
that protective clothing is worn.
Avoid spilling acid to prevent damage to clothing and skin bums.
If accidentalty spilled or splashed on clothing or skin, rinse with cold water. As a neutralizer, a solution of baking soda
or ammonia and water may be used.
In the event of skin or eye contact rinse the affected areas with water and should this not
be sufficient seek medical
attention.
Any trace of acid spilled or splashed on the vehicle should be rinsed with clean water.
BEFORE AND WHILST WORKING WITH THE BATTERY BE AWARE OF THE FOLLOWING SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
o particularly during charging, highly explosive hydrogen is emitted.
0 do not smoke when working near the battery.
o avoid sparks, short circuits or other sources of ignition.
o switch off current before connecting or disconnecting any electrical terminals.
o always disconnect battery ground lead first and reconnect last.
o ensure battery is charged in a well ventilated area.
o switch off the charger before disconnecting.
WARNING: WHEN PREPARING ELECTROLYTE OF A DESIRED SPECIFIC GRAVITY, ALWAYS POUR THE
CONCENTRATED ACID SLOWLY INTO THE WATER AND NOT WATER INTO THE ACID.
HEAT IS GENERATED WHEN MIXING ACID WITH WATER, HENCE ADD SMALL AMOUNTS OF ACID AND
STIR SLOWLY INTO THE WATER. ALLOW TO COOL IF NOTICEABLE HEAT DEVELOPS. EXCEPT FOR LEAD
DO NOT STORE ACID
IN EXCESSIVELY WARM LOCATIONS OR DIRECT SUN LIGHT.FUEL VAPOUR IS EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE, HENCE GREAT CARE MUST BE TAKEN WHILST WORKING ON THE FUEL
SYSTEM. LINED
CONTAINERS, ALWAYS USE NON
- METALLIC CONTAINERS AND / OR FUNNELS.
