Then we use the hydrometer which is the one reliable way of knowing the condition of its charge.

Don't trust your battery to amateurs or artists in guess work, who claim they can tell inside condition by outside inspection. . Come here where you find adequate ma chines and apparatus to really inspect, charge and repair any battery.
