discharge. The specific gravity of a battery electrolyte indicates the state of charge in
each battery cell. While charging battery, check the specific gravity with a hydrometer,
using a thermometer to correct hydrometer reading for temperature.
A
corrected specific
gravity reading of 1.26 to 1.28 in all cells indicates a fully charged battery.
Example
:
In case of 12V-40Ah automobile battery, it takes
5
to 6 hours to bring a
completely discharged battery to a state of full-charge.
