12. The batteries shipped by Pan American to Managua for use with village radios are dry-charged, and "electrolyte" must be added to the batteries before they are used. Specifically, "electrolyte" is sulfuric acid and distilled water mixed to a specific gravity of 1.275. "Electrolyte" is available from any filling station or chemical garage. Tom will need 20 gallons of "electrolyte." This liquid could not be shipped on commercial aircraft.
