Charging
Battery
The
Prestolite
7 LU
is
a
small
battery
with
little
space
for
expansion
of
the
acid.
Therefore,
the
battery
is
likely
to
overflow
from
(1)
the
heat
of
operating
temperature
or
(2)
to
trapped
air
when
filling.
When
first
adding
electrolyte
,
pour
in
only
enough
to
cover
the
plates.
Then,
Charge
the
battery
at
7
amperes
for
30
minutes
or
rW1
the
tractor
for
an
hour.
Check
the
acid
level.
Raising
the
battery
temperature
from
room
con-
dition
to
over
100
0
F.
when
charging
will
many
times
bring
the
acid
level
to
the
ring
in
the
neck.
If
it
is
still
below
the
ring,
add
enough
acid-not
water,
to
bring
the
level
to
the
bottom
of
the
ring.
CAU"rJON: Do
not
brIng the acid level
up
on
or above the rIng, only to the bottom of
the
rIng.
Advise
customers
to
add
water
as
re
c
om-
mended
in
the
operator's
manual.
A
healthy
bat-
tery
will
consume
about
one
teaspoon
of
water
per
cell
each
month.
During
charging,
the
temperature
of
the
elec-
trolyte
rises,
causing
it
to
expand.
Hydrogen
nat-
ural
gas
by-products,
carry
tiny
bubbles
of
elec-
trolyte
through
the
vents.
These
bubbles
burst
and
the
acid
is
deposited
on
top
of
the
battery
case,
as
well
as
elsewhere
on
the
tra
c
tor.
A
minor
a c
cumulation
immediately
starts
a
weak
cirain
of
power.
This
is
not
the
time
to
charge
the
battery
and
turn
up
the
regulator.
Instead
remove
the
battery,
clean
it
well
(the
tractor,
too)
with
soda
or
am-
monia
and
polish
the
battery
terminals
and
cable
ends
.
Charge
the
battery
at
a
4-ampere
rate
until
a
hydrometer
reading
of
1.250
is
attained.
