EXAMPLE 3
Battery electrolyte temperature reading is 100 degrees and the hydrometer specific
gravity reading is only 1.224. The electrolyte temperature is two (2) 10's above 80
degrees Fahrenheit. You must add two 4's or eight specific gravity units to the original
float reading to get a corrected specific gravity reading of 1.232 (See Figure 3-6).
