DRY-CHARGE MAINTENANCE MANUAL
ELECTROLYTE VOLUMES
Note: These are approximate volumes.
5.2.5 INITIAL CHARGING INSTRUCTIONS
a) Replace vent caps tightly and start charging per recommendations for your
battery type. Note Table 4 for Initial Charge Rates.
b) Do not allow the battery to stand for more than 8 hours, after the
electrolyte has been added and before you begin to charge.
c) After the first hour of charge, check the electrolyte levels in each cell. Make
sure that the level is just to the bottom of the split ring. Use hydrometer to
remove excess. If the electrolyte levels are low,
ADD ELECTROLYTE ONLY.
DO NOT ADD WATER AT THIS STAGE.
WARNING
Wear safety goggles when looking into the cells and acid resistant gloves when handling
batteries. Electrolyte contains sulfuric acid, which is highly corrosive and can cause severe burns
to exposed skin and permanent damage to eyes.
