connecting the charger for a recovery attempt. Visually check the battery for mechanical defects such as a bulging or connecting the charger for a recovery attempt. Visually check the battery for mechanical defects such as a bulging or
cracked casing, or signs of electrolyte leakage. If the battery has filler caps and the plates within the cells can be seen from the cracked casing, or signs of electrolyte leakage. If the battery has filler caps and the plates within the cells can be seen from the
outside, examine the battery carefully to try to determine if any cells seem different to the others (for example, with white outside, examine the battery carefully to try to determine if any cells seem different to the others (for example, with white
matter between the plates, plates touching). If mechanical defects are apparent do not attempt to charge the battery, have the matter between the plates, plates touching). If mechanical defects are apparent do not attempt to charge the battery, have the
