Section 06 ELECTRICAL Subsection 04 (BATTERY)
A hydrometer measures the charge of battery in terms of specific gravity of the electrolyteMost hydrometers give true reading at 27C (80F)In order to obtain correct readings, adjust the initial reading by adding .004 points to the hydrometer readings for each 5.5C (10F) above 27C (80F) and by subtracting .004 point for every 5.5C (10F) below 27C (80F)This chart will be useful to find the correct readingELECTROLYTE TEMPERATURE 38 32 27 21 16 10 -1 -7121823293440 100 90 80 70 60 50 40 30 20 1010203040 add .008 .004 .004 .008 .012 .016 .020 .024 .028 .032 .036 .040 .044 .048 to the reading OPERATION TO PERFORM
