Charging
• Indication of a Fully Charged Battery:
A hydrometer reading of the specific gravity of the electrolyte (fluid) of a
battery in good condition should be between 1.250 and 1.285. When a
battery reaches 80 to 85% of a full charge, bubbles will appear on the
surface of the fluid. As the battery nears full charge, the bubbling will
become more active. At no time during the charge cycle should there be
any sign of vigorous bubbling of the battery fluid.
• There are some important facts to keep in mind when charging a
battery.
