EL-11spec tableHow to Handle Battery (Cont'd)
NOTE
When electrolyte level is too low, tilt battery case to raise it for easy measurement.
Specific-gravity reading — step 2: convert to 20 °C reference
- 1Convert into specific gravity at 20 °C (68 °F) using the temperature-correction chart.
NOTE
Examples:
• When electrolyte temperature is 35 °C (95 °F) and specific gravity of electrolyte is 1.230, converted specific gravity at 20 °C (68 °F) is 1.240.
• When electrolyte temperature is 0 °C (32 °F) and specific gravity of electrolyte is 1.210, converted specific gravity at 20 °C (68 °F) is 1.196.
