Do's

Insist on the Correct Battery for your Vehicle
Clean The Cable Clamps Properly before fitting
Ensure batteries are checked once in two months for Regular batteries & once in six months for maintenance Free batteries
Hold the hydrometer vertically.
Hold the hydrometer so that the liquid is level in the barrel and at eye level
Read the Specific Gravity at the point on the Calibrated float's scale where the surface of the liquid crosses the float
Check each individual battery cell
Measure the electrolyte temperature with a thermometer for best accuracy
Correcting Hydrometer reading for Temperature:

Add 0.007 for every 10oC above 27^oC
Subtract 0.007 for every 10oc below 27^oC
Petroleum Jelly should be applied on the terminals & not Grease

HYDROMETER READINGS

100% =1.270-1.280
75% =1.230-1.240
Recharge, if one or more Cells are below 1.230

VOLTMETER READINGS

OC VOLTS=STATE OF CHARGE
12.66 = 100%
12.40 = 75%
Recharge if O.C.V. is below 12.40 volts

Dont's

Do Not Install lower capacity battery then recommended
Immediately after Adding Water (Never add acid to a battery to raise the electrolyte level, Only add de-mineralized water)
Do not over tighten clamps as this will damage the battery pole
Please note that the Hydrometer readings are likely to be inaccurate in the following instances:
While a Battery is being charged

(After turning the charge OFF, wait at least 15-20 minutes for the electrolyte to settle.)

Never Use Grease
