English · machine-assisted draft

The height of the liquid electrolyte relative to the plates in a serviceable flooded lead-acid battery. It describes liquid quantity, not state of charge or specific gravity. Gerry’s battery FAQ discusses accessible cells; this term must not be read as an instruction to open a sealed battery.

English · machine-assisted draft

An instrument that measures a liquid’s specific gravity. In Gerry’s battery FAQ it is used with electrolyte from accessible cells of a flooded lead-acid battery, helping compare cells and estimate charge. It does not measure voltage and is not a general-purpose tester for sealed or lithium camper batteries.

English · machine-assisted draft

A lead-acid battery sold as requiring reduced routine servicing, often with no user access for checking or topping up individual cells. The name does not mean that charge, terminals and overall condition need no attention. Gerry’s 1995 FAQ discusses this older automotive usage; it does not describe every modern sealed battery.

English · machine-assisted draft

The ratio of a liquid’s density to that of water. In the flooded lead-acid battery context of Gerry’s FAQ, electrolyte specific gravity helps estimate charge and compare cells. It is different from electrolyte level; temperature and battery design affect interpretation. It is not a measurement for a sealed lithium camper battery.
