ON-VEHICLE SERVICE
FLUID LEVEL AND SPECIFIC GRAVITY CHECK
  1. Inspect whether or not the battery fluid is between the UPPER LEVEL and LOWER LEVEL marks.
    2.  CAUTION
    • If the battery fluid is below the LOWER LEVEL, the battery could explode in using.
    • If the battery fluid is over the UPPER LEVEL, leakage could result.
   
  1. Use a hydrometer and thermometer to check the specific gravity of the battery fluid.
    Standard value: 1.220 - 1.290 (20°C)
    The specific gravity of the battery fluid varies with the temperature, so use the following formula to calculate the specific gravity for 20°C. Use the calculated value to determine whether or not the specific gravity is satisfactory.
    2. D20 = (t-20) X 0.0007 + Dt
    D20: Specific gravity of the battery fluid calculated for 20°C
    Dt: Actually measured specific gravity
    t: Actually measured temperature
