INSPECTION - CONTINUED
5.
Check the electrolyte fluid level. The level can be viewed through the
translucent plastic case or by removing the vent caps and looking directly
into each cell. The proper level is 1/2" above the separators (about
1/8" below the fill ring shown below). Add distilled water if necessary.
Do not overfill.
6.
Check for cloudy or discolored electrolyte caused by overcharging or
vibration. This could cause high self discharge. Correct the cause and
replace the battery.
