BATTERY CONDITION
Battery Sulphation:
A battery will be completely discharged if it is left unattended for a long time and the specific
gravity becomes less than 1.100. This may result in sulphation on the cell plates. To
determine if a battery has been sulfated, note its voltage and current when charging. If low
current and higher voltages are observed in the initial stages of charging a sulfated battery is
likely. A sulfated battery may sometimes be brought back into service by means of a long slow
charge, 12 hours or more.
• Do not quick charge a fully discharged battery.
• After charging, if the specific gravity of any two cells varies more then .050, the battery
should be replaced.
