Since battery acid is highly corrosive, be careful not to allow it to contact clothing or the vehicle.
In case battery acid contacts skin, eyes, or clothing, flush it immediately with running water. Especially if the acid gets in the eyes, flush with water for more than 15 min and get prompt medical attention.

Electrolyte gravity

Measure the electrolyte specific gravity using a hydrometer.
- If it is less than the specification, recharge the battery. (See BATTERY RECHARGING [LF, L3] ).
  Standard electrolyte gravity
  
  1.22-1.29 [20°C {68°F}]
