Checking the battery charge level (Priora 2170)

If during operation there are difficulties with starting the engine, check the state of charge of the battery by the density of the electrolyte or the voltage at its terminals in an unloaded state (table 10.1). To check the specific gravity of the electrolyte, use a hydrometer or a commercially available float-type electrolyte specific gravity indicator. The voltage at the battery terminals can be measured with any DC voltmeter with a measurement range of 20 V (a similar voltmeter is included in all commercially available auto testers).

If the battery charge level is 75% or lower, it must be removed from the vehicle and charged using a charger.
