6.2 Checking Electrolyte Density

Electrolyte density can be measured instead of measuring battery voltage. No pre-conditions apply. However, measured electrolyte density values must be corrected according to battery temperature. To judge the charging condition, the lowest electrolyte density value is decisive. The electrolyte density difference between cells is maximum 0.04. Otherwise a cell defect is present.
