Test
@M. Battery fluid (eleqtrolyte) contains sulturic acid. lt may couse sevore burns if it gets on your skin or in your eyes. Wearprotective clothing and a fac6 shield.- lf elestrolyte gets on your skin o. clothos, rinse it otf with wator imm€diately.- lf €leqtrolyte gets in your eyes. tlush it out by splashing water in your syes for at least 15 minutes; call a physicianimmediately.
. A battery gives off hydrogon gas. lf ignited, the hydrogen will €xplode and could crack the battery case and splatt€racid on you. Kgop sparks. flamss, and cigarettes away from the batt€ry,. Overcharging will raise the tomperatute of the electrolyte. This may torcs electrolyto to spray out of the battEry vents,Follow the charger manutacturer's instructions, and charge the battery at a proper ral€,
Use either a JCI or Bear ARBST tester, and follow the manufacturer's procedures. lf you don't have one of tnese comput-erized testers, follow this conventional test procedure:
To get accurate results, the temperature ofthe electrolyte must be between 70.F (21.c) and loo"F (38"c).
