Using Electrolyte Specific Gravity Method
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Mazda CX-5. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Remove the battery filler caps and check the water level.
- If necessary, add water to the appropriate level.
- Measure the electrolyte specific gravity using a hydrometer.
- If it is less than the specification, recharge the battery. (See BATTERY RECHARGING .)
Battery electrolyte specific gravity [20°C {68°F}]
1.22-1.29
- If it is less than the specification, recharge the battery. (See BATTERY RECHARGING .)
