Properly reading a battery hydrometer
I remember from chemistry that you always read volume in a graduated cylinder at the bottom of the meniscus. But what about the hydrometer? Just got to thinking about it today when I was checking the ...

Once again, most of you guys are resplitting previously split hairs. Whats most important in taking hydrometer readings is the overall average of all the results. If you check all the cells the same way at the same time, say 30 minutes after charging, the readings should all be within +-10% of each other. (hopefully in the green zone) If they are not, then you need to do further investigation or an equalization. After that, if full charge voltage is still off and the the cells still show major discrepancies in specific gravity, THEN, you may have a problem.
Geezo! In my 5 years of automotive technical training, which was prior to my 5 years of engineering school, which was prior to my 35+ years of field experience, I've never seen more anal retentive neurotic behavioral thinking! Relax guys, enjoy the day! Chances are you're fine.
