How you check 'em is important.
You can't tell t±e true condition of a
battery if you test only the water²
That's just what you do if you add
water and test. The water stays at the
top of the cells.
If you add water, start the engine
and let it rUn fOR at least
³´
minutes.
This gives the vehicle's charging sys-
tem a chance to mix t±e water and elec-
trolyte. This also keeps the water Fom
Feezing and cracking t±e battery.
It's best to test the battery's electrolyte right a³ter you shut o´ the engine.
All the howµto's you need to test and keep your batteries in ³ull charge are
explained in Chapter
