3.11.2 Electrolyte Level Inspection
Check the electrolyte level and specific gravity of
batteries that have filler caps. Maintenance-free
batteries do not require electrolyte l evel checking or
specific gravity testing.
Check the electrolyte level at the specified interval.
Remove the filler caps and verify that the electrolyte
level reaches the bottom of each filler hole. See
Figure 3-19. Refill as necessary with distilled water or
clean tap water. Do not add fresh electrolyte. Tighten
the filler caps. After adding water during freezing
temperatures, run the generator set 20--30 minutes to
mix the electrolyte and the water to prevent battery
damage from freezing.
