Use a scale and charge the quantity listed on the MFG label affixed under the hood. Ususlly around 2lbs. The low pressure side will generally read around 35 - 55 psi when fully charged and under load. The high side will be anywhere below 250 psi. Remember all pressures vary dramatically dependant on ambient conditions and system loading.
