For flooded batteries, the level of electrolyte and the specific gravity of the electrolyte for each battery needs to be checked regularly. Checking the specific gravity of a battery by using a hydrometer should be carried out at least 15 minutes after an equalisation or boost charge. Only distilled water should be added to batteries. Tap water contains minerals which may damage
charging sulphuric acid is produced and the specific gravity of the electrolyte increases. The specific gravity can be measured using a hydrometer and will have a value of about 1.250 for a charged cell and 1.17 for a discharged cell, although these values will vary depending on the make of battery. The specific gravity also depends on the

Specific gravity is a crucial aspect of battery health, as it indicates the state of charge and the overall condition of the battery. Specific gravity readings are taken to determine the concentration of sulfuric acid in the battery''s electrolyte. The specific gravity of a lead-acid battery should be between 1.265 and 1.299 when fully charged, and anything below that
Lead-acid batteries use an electrolyte which contains sulfuric acid. Pure sulfuric acid has a specific gravity of 1.835, since it weighs 1.835 times as much as pure water per unit volume.
In order to determine the specific gravity of a 37 % % % sulfuric acid (H 2 _2 2 SO 4 _4 4 ) water solution in a fully charged lead-acid battery, we will have to divide the density of sulfuric acid with the density of water at 4 ∘ ^{circ} ∘ C.
The specific gravity of a battery should be between 1.265 and 1.299 for lead-acid batteries. This range indicates that the battery is fully charged and in good condition. If the specific gravity is below 1.225, the battery is discharged and needs to be charged. If the specific gravity is above 1.299, the battery is overcharged and may be damaged.
