I have to disagree on the battery cell voltage as I am reading out of an exide battery pamphlet. It shows 2.1 volts as fully charged. It does not cover the newer maint free batteries.

We always went by a 12.6 volts reading as being full charged on an undisturbed open circuit test since 1955, not going to change my mind now at this stage of the game. I think I alreadly covered in my above post about allowing a battery time to recover after loading it before you can get an accurate open circuit reading. I personally like to see them set for a full 24 hrs. I did find over the years that the maintence free batteries are slightly different due to their plate composition. IH used to isssue about two bulletins a month on them far a checking and charging them as a lot of them were going dead on the lots due to parasite loads from electronic memory in radio etc. Learned a lot about them when IH put them in their 86 series tractors, the Delco battery. Some good , some bad.

Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power.
