[RE-wrenches] Acid spill...

[Darryl Thayer]

No acid for acid.  unless you want to reduce the gravity for high temperatures.  
If they were charged all the sulphur is in the acid. I would think that  if you 
are working with having all cells filled with 5/6 full of acid and you are 
filling the remainder with 1/6 distilled water, 

then 1/6 x1 + 5/6 x 1.265 = 1.220 and this would be to low for effective 
batteries.

Hi there,
 
I just shipped a largish bank of Exide BMPE19flooded batteries to the Islands.
 
On unloading, a pallet split and several cells lost electrolyte.
 
8 out of the 48 - 2V cells lost about 1/3 of their acid.
 
The question is would it be safe to even out the acid in the whole 48 cells and 
then top up with distilled water?
 
Appreciate your collective wisdom…
