- 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}]
- If it is less than the specification, recharge the battery. (See
BATTERY RECHARGING [LF, L3] ).
