Take out the battery.

Battery and electrolyte must be at equal temperature above 10
Centigrade
(50
Fahrenheit
).

Remove cover and/or plug from each cell.

the level must be above the plates for at least 10 mm (0.4 in) to 15 mm (0.6 in).
•
Rock the battery a few times so that possible air bubbles can escape; wait 10 minutes and check the level in each
cell once more; if required, add electrolyte.
•
Refit plugs and/or cover.
•
Place the battery in the compressor.
Read the safety instructions carefully.
Always pour the sulphuric acid carefully into the distilled water; never pour the water into
the acid.
