Acid adjust the battery before a load test is performed. Acid adjustment ensures that the battery cells are at the manufacturer’s recommended specific gravity. Allow three to five days for a normal acid adjust and load test. The cost is $10 per cell.

1. Battery is washed to remove any loose foreign material, and then the old tar is dug out from in between the cells.
2. Battery is then neutralized to get rid of exterior acid residue.
3. Final step is to pour hot tar between the cells and flame the top to insure a good seal.

A normal reseal will last one to two years, depending on cleanliness.Cost is $10 per cell.
