Checking the electrolyte level

The electrolyte level should be 5-10 mm higher than the upper edge of the separators or the safety shield and not rise above the lower edge of the indicator 7 (pic. 7-3).



During operation of the battery, the electrolyte level gradually decreases, as the water that is part of it evaporates. To restore the electrolyte level, add only distilled water.

If it is determined that the cause of the low level is sloshing, then add electrolyte of the same density as that remaining in the battery cell

If the level is above normal, then select the electrolyte with a rubber bulb with an ebonite tip.
