4 Take required amount of lead alloy material in a ladle.
5 Heat the ladle and melt the lead alloy into molten state.

6 Pour the molten lead alloy into the terminal post steel dies.

7 Allow some time for cooling the lead alloy.
8 Remove the steel dies form terminal posts.
23 Check the status at charging of the battery using magic eye if fitted.

Note: If green colour is shown battery is charged, white means check for recharge, Red mean Add
distilled water or replace the battery.
24 Remove the vent plugs.

25 Check the electrolyte level and top up the electrolyte upto `max’ level with distilled water.

Note: Never add Acid.
Never use open flame to check the electrolyte level.
If the electrolyte Level is critically low, Don`t top up. Replace with new electrolyte.

Preparation of electrolyte
1 Take a glass jar.
2 Fill the sulphuring acid with specific gravity of 1.835.

3 Place the acid jar on weighing scale and adjust the level of acid upto the weight of 36% of electrolyte
quantity has to be prepared.
4 Take another glass jar and fill with distilled water.

5 Put in the weighing scale and adjust to the weight of 64% of electrolyte quantity has to be prepared.
6 Pour the acid slowly in the distilled water jar and make in to the specific gravity of 1.270.

Note: Never pour distilled water on the acid jar.
