Inspecting Electrolyte Level

A low level of electrolyte fluid will cause the battery to discharge quickly.

 

Inspect the electrolyte level at least once a week. If it is low, remove the caps and add enough distilled water to bring the level between the upper and lower level (illustration).

 

Do not overfill.

Examine the specific gravity of the electrolyte with a hydrometer, especially during cold weather. If it is low, recharge the battery.
