Checking Battery Electrolyte Level




The following procedure can be used to check the battery electrolyte level.




1. Remove the battery (2) cell cap (1).




2. Look through the battery cap holes (1) to determine the level of the electrolyte in the battery. The electrolyte should be approximately 1 centimeter above the battery plates or until the lip (2) inside the battery cap holes is covered.
3. Add only distilled water until the electrolyte level is approximately one centimeter above the plates.
