BATTERY ON-VEHICLE SERVICE BATTERY CHECK
BATTERY VISUAL INSPECTION (1) 1. Ensure that the battery electrolyte level is between A and B shown in the
figure. Add if the level is lower than the specified range.
2. Use a hydrometer and temperature gauge to check the specific gravity of the
electrolyte.
Standard value:
1.220 - 1.290 [at 20°C (68°F)]
The specific gravity of electrolyte depends on its temperature. Use the formula
below to determine the proper value.
Conversion on centigrade
D20 =(t - 20) x 0.0007 + Dt
Conversion on Fahrenheit
D20 =(t - 68) x 0.0007 + Dt
D20 : Specific gravity as if electrolyte temperature is 20°C (68°F)
WARNING:Battery posts, terminals and related accessories
contain lead and lead compounds. WASH HANDS
AFTER HANDLING.
