Failure to do so will yield false readings that indicate a battery that is not fully desulfated or does not qualify for desulfation.

After inserting the tester in a cell, gently tap the tester several times against the inside wall of each cell to dislodge air bubbles that will cause more balls to float than should.

Failure to do so will give you false readings indicating a battery that may not be in as good a condition as you may have thought. This will soak the balls in the hydrometer in order to give you more accurate readings.

When using the tester the first time or after a long period of non-use, fill the tester with the battery fluid and let it sit for 1/2 hour or longer.

If not done properly, acid can spill, which can burn skin or clothing. Use caution when testing Specific Gravity (SG) with a hydrometer.Read the tester instructions carefully for most accurate readings.Testing with a Temperature Compensated Hydrometer Tester Continue this process until the SG or voltage readings no longer increase.If you see an increase in the Specific Gravity (SG) or voltage indicating that there is an improvement in the battery's condition, continue desulfating for an additional 72 hours and retest the battery.Use a temperature compensated hydrometer tester for the most accurate results (see table).Allow battery to remain in maintenance mode for a minimum of 72 hours, before re-test.

Reconnect battery to your BatteryMINDer battery charger desulfator.

See the Specific Gravity - Capacity chart below for more information.

Gauge reading is 1.120 or no balls float on the hydometer in one or more cells.

BatteryMINDer battery condition LED lights (YELLOW) within 72 hours (single battery).

Your battery may be too far gone to be fully desulfated if one of the following conditions occurs:.

See the sections on Testing with a Temperature Compenstated Hydometer Tester and Digital Voltmeter below for more information.

Test the battery with a temperature compensated hydrometer and/or digital type voltmeter only.

Allow battery to ' REST' overnight for a minimum of 12 hours.

Recharge the battery with the BatteryMINDer battery charger desulfator to ensure that it is slowly and completely charged before you determine its condition.

Before proceeding further you must be thoroughly familiar with the safety and operating instructions.

Refill each cell with distilled water only to the liquid level indicator found in each cell.

Significant recharge/reconditioning time is needed to restore these plates to a condition where the battery may be expected to function normally.

If the level is low or has ever been below top of plates, severe lead plate sulfation has taken place.

Check the water-liquid electrolyte level.Carefully remove all filler caps from your battery.Testing a 12 Volt or 24 Volt Filler Cap Lead Acid Battery Use a digital voltmeter and a temperature compensated (Floating Ball type or Gauge type) hydrometer for the testing, and a BatteryMINDer charger maintainer to avoid future problems with battery sulfation. The following, if done correctly, will tell you more about the condition of your battery than any 'anecdotal' history ever would.
