Electrolyte temperature exceeds 125° F (52° C).
Violent gassing or spewing of electrolyte occurs.
Battery is fully charged when, over a two hour period at a low charging rate in amperes, all
cells are gassing freely and no change in specific gravity occurs. For the most satisfactory
charging, the lower charging rates in amperes are recommended.
Full charge specific gravity is 1.260-1.280, corrected for temperature with electrolyte level
