Checking the battery charge

Voltage measurement

The battery in accordance with the hydrometer readings

The battery in accordance with the testimony of a multimeter

If, in spite of the adequate level of electrolyte battery does not provide the necessary power, check its charge. To do this it is best to use a hydrometer. The scale of the device shows the density of the electrolyte in the battery. The measurement can be used as tester high accuracy (accuracy within ?� 0.02 V). The value of the open circuit voltage will assess the battery.

"Every year, 15 000 km of"

1. Measurements were carried out not earlier than 6 hours after the previous charge.

2. Loosen or remove the plug from the battery case.

3. hydrometer hold horizontally. Enter a pear device as the electrolyte from the battery to the float to float freely in it (Fig. 9.5).
