6.3 Correction Values For Electrolyte Density





The relation charging condition/electrolyte density refers to a battery temperature of 27~C (80~F). When checking electrolyte density at a different temperature, a compensation value applies.

Example:
Temperature approximately + 8~C (44~F) lowest measured value 1.26.

Correction value: 0.015

Corrected measured value: 1.26 - 0.015 = 1.245. (charging condition approximately 80%)
