If on a lead-acid battery, several cell checks of SG read consistently low. Battery needs
- recharging
- replacing
- topping up with distilled water
Explanation
Specific gravity falls as a lead-acid cell discharges because the sulphuric acid is consumed. Several cells reading consistently low SG indicate the battery is simply in a discharged state rather than faulty or low on water, so the correct action is to recharge it and then recheck the readings.
Jordi asking:
Shouldnt it be replacing?Because we've already performed several cell checks and it remains low .
