Hi guys,
Great advice thanks, am checking the charge test sheets to ascertain the right SG for the new acid. Will get this into the spilled cells ASP. I tried getting advice from Exide but they are not answering their phones. Temps vary between 82F and 93F year round so there could be a case to lower the SG a little? Carl Emerson Free Power Co.

Carl, DO NOT ADD DISTILLED WATER!! 1. Refill the cells that spilled with new electrolyte of the same SG but only fill enough to cover the moss plate. 2. Charge the battery hard to ensure that all acid is out of the positive plate. 3. Top off those that spilled with more new electrolyte.

Hi there, I just shipped a largish bank of Exide BMPE19 flooded 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. Carl Emerson Free Power Co.
