4. Occasionally measure the temperature of the electrolyte. Do not
allow the temperature to rise above 110 deg. Fahrenheit (120 deg. Fahrenheit
in tropical countries). Should the temperature reach 110 deg., stop the
charge long enough to allow the temperature to drop below 100 deg..

5. At the end of the charge, the specific gravity of the electrolyte
should be between 1.280 and 1.300 (1.210 and 1.230 in tropical
countries). If it is not between these limits adjust it by drawing off
some of the electrolyte with the hydrometer and replacing with water
if the specific gravity is too high, or with electrolyte of the same
specific gravity used in filling the battery, if the specific gravity
is too low.

6. Wipe off the top and sides of the battery case with a rag dampened
with ammonia to neutralize any electrolyte which may have been spilled.

7. Just before putting the battery into service, give it a high rate
discharge test. See page 266.

Vesta Batteries

1. Remove vent caps from each cell and fill with electrolyte of 1.300
specific gravity. This electrolyte should not have a temperature
greater than 75 deg. Fahrenheit when added to the cells.

2. After the addition of this acid, the battery will begin to heat and
it should be left standing from 12 to 24 hours or until it has cooled
off.

3. Battery should then be put on charge at the finish charging rate
stamped on the name plate. Continue charging at this rate for
approximately 48 to 72 hours or until the gravity and voltage readings
of each cell stop rising.

4. Care should be taken to see that the temperature of battery does
not rise above 110 deg. Fahrenheit. If this occurs., the charging rate
should be cut down.

5. The acid in each cell will undoubtedly hav
