NOTE: If the readings are taken when the battery
electrolyte is any temperature other than 80_F / 27_C
(), the reading must be temperature corrected. Add or
subtract to the specific gravity reading 0.004, 4 points,
for each 43_F / 6_C above or below 80_F / 27_C.
2. Always follow proper charging instructions
(See CHARGING BATTERIES).
3. Check the electrolyte level (A) in each battery cell
after charging batteries. The level should be
