APPENDIX A APPENDIX A — CHARGING TIMES CHARGING TIMES To calculate the approximate charging time required to fully charge a battery, it is necessary to determine the specific gravity (or, percent of battery charge) using a hydrometer. Use this technique if battery vent caps can be removed. Check each cell. if there is one cell with a very low specific gravity compared to the other cells, there is probably a shorted cell in the battery. Replace the battery. The following chart converts hydrometer
