A low electrolyte level will cause the battery to discharge quickly.

Sprawdzanie poziomu elektrolitu

Check the electrolyte level at least once a week. If the level is low, remove the caps and add distilled water until the level is between the upper and lower marks (illustration).

Do not overfill.

Check the specific gravity of the electrolyte with a hydrometer, especially in low temperatures. If the reading is low, recharge the battery.
