When the battery is completely charged, the
specific gravity of the electrolyte should be between
1.275 and 1.295. Adjust specific gravity, if necessary,
by removing electrolyte and adding suitable water or
stronger electrolyte. Continue this process until all
gravities are in the proper range. The battery will then
be ready for service. Replace vent plugs in cells and
wash off any spilled electrolyte.
