1. Fill:
CAUTION:
• Never remove the sealing sheet (alumin-
ium seal) from the battery until the bat-
tery is filled with electrolyte.
If battery plates are exposed to air, they
will oxidize. As a result, power will not be
generated as specified.
• Add electrolyte so that its level is correct
as specified.
An incorrect electrolyte level has an
adverse effect on battery performance.
The quantity of electrolyte varies with the
type of the electrolyte container. Use
only the amount of electrolyte in the con-
tainer which comes with the battery.
• Avoid using any electrolyte other than
specified.
The specific gravity of the MF battery
electrolyte is 1.320 (20 °C). (The specific
gravity of the general type battery elec-
trolyte is 1.280.)
If the electrolyte whose specific gravity is
less than 1.320, the sulfuric acid will
decrease and thus low battery perfor-
mance will result.
Should any electrolyte, whose specific
gravity is 1.320 or more, be used, the bat-
tery plates will corrode and battery life
will shorten.
