Any auto parts or auto specialties store will have a device - or a choice of devices - that will do exactly that . They are not expensive.

Device is a hydrometer.

What is measured by Specific gravity of a lead acid cell?
Specific gravity of the electrolyte in the lead acid cell or battery (assuming that the battery is not of the sealed type) is often used as a measure of its STATE OF CHARGE. Sure we can do the same with a multimeter but the above method is more accurate.
When an automotive battery is fully charged the sulfric acid and water mixture will have a specific gravity of about?
When a battery is fully charged, the amount of sulfuric acid mixed with the water is sufficient to give a specific gravity of about 1.3. The answer is C. I found this on Page 78 of the Mechanics Study Unit of Physical Science (Penn Foster). One of the uses of a hydrometer is to measure the condition of electrolyte solution in a storage battery of the type used in a car. When a battery is fully charged, the amount of sulfuric gravity of about 1.3.
What are indications that lead acid battery is fully charged?
There are two measures, cell voltage and specific gravity of the electrolyte. Cell voltage is the simplest to measure. For most automotive, flooded cell (having liquid electrolyte) batteries, 12.6 volts is considered full charge, although it is typical to have 13 volts or a bit over. The specific gravity of a fully charged battery, measured with a hydrometer, is 1.265.
How you can measure specific gravity of Diesel?
no
How do you measure of how salty water is?
Specific gravity.
A measure of the amount of matter in a given volume?
Density aka specific gravity is a measure of the amount of matter in a given volume. Actually specific gravity is not the measure of the amount of matter in a given value, it is a comparison of the density of the substance to water's density. Specific gravity is a unitless quantity.
You would like to convert specific gravity to dencity?
It is spelled "density" and specific gravity is a measure of density and so does not need to be converted.
What does the specific gravity (SG) of urine measure?
The density of urine
Why do scientists use specific gravity?
I believe the reason behind using specific gravity is that it is easier to measure (especially when you're measuring it for a solid).
What unit is used with specific gravity?
The specific gravity of a substance is the ratio of te density of the substance to the density of water. It is, therefore, a unitless measure.
What is the amount of mass packed into a certain volume?
Density aka specific gravity is a measure of the amount of matter in a given volume. Actually specific gravity is not the measure of the amount of matter in a given value, it is a comparison of the density of the substance to water's density. Specific gravity is a unitless quantity.
What is one unit of measure for mass?
Specific gravity I think. Start there.
