Most likely you have a 36 volt system and you have 18 cells to check and record.
Good and charged batteries will show a specific gravity of over 13 on the scale. This BASIC
Test should help you see for yourself the level your dealing with by battery and by cell.
Please, no smoking or sparks during and in the test area.
Thanks Frank,
I'll try and do that tomorrow. Pochie
