SulphationNJSC0003S0201A battery will be completely discharged if it is left unattended
for a long time and the specific gravity will become less than
1.100. This may result in sulphation on the cell plates.
To determine if a battery has been ªsulphatedº, note its volt-
age and current when charging it. As shown in the figure, less
current and higher voltage are observed in the initial stage of
charging sulphated batteries.
A sulphated battery may sometimes be brought back into ser-
vice by means of a long, slow charge, 12 hours or more, fol-
lowed by a battery capacity test.
MEL042FA
SPECIFIC GRAVITY CHECKNJSC0003S031. Read hydrometer and thermometer indications at eye level.
2. Convert into specific gravity at 20ÉC (68ÉF).
Example:
+When electrolyte temperature is 35ÉC (95ÉF) and specific grav-
ity of electrolyte is 1.230, converted specific gravity at 20ÉC
(68ÉF) is 1.240.
+When electrolyte temperature is 0ÉC (32ÉF) and specific grav-
ity of electrolyte is 1.210, converted specific gravity at 20ÉC
(68ÉF) is 1.196.

*: SC-7
CAUTION:
+Set charging current to value specified in Fig. 2. If charger is not capable of producing specified
current value, set its charging current as close to that value as possible.
+Keep battery away from open flame while it is being charged.
+When connecting charger, connect leads first, then turn on charger. Do not turn on charger first,
as this may cause a spark.
+If battery temperature rises above 60ÉC (140ÉF), stop charging. Always charge battery when its
temperature is below 60ÉC (140ÉF).
