Question 9

When determining a battery's condition, what items should you look at?

Accepted Answer

Inspect the following items:
1. Date code on the battery label. This tells the date that the battery was installed in the vehicle.
2. Battery case condition. Electrolyte deposits on the surface of the case can conduct electricity between the positive and negative terminals, discharging the battery. Check for damage to the battery case.
3. Level of the electrolyte. Add distilled water as needed to fill the battery to the split ring at the bottom of the hole beneath the cell cap. If one of the cells is low, there could be a short in that cell. Low electrolyte throughout the battery indicates the possibility of overcharging.
4. Condition of the cables and terminals. Clean them as needed.
5. Battery holddown and tray.
6. Built-in hydrometer (some batteries).

Question 10

While having a discussion, Technician A says that a sulfuric acid smell and/or boiling electrolyte indicates that a battery is being charged too fast. Technician B says that electrolyte boiling is not an indication of a problem. Who is correct?

Accepted Answer

B)  B only
C)  Both A and B
D)  Neither A nor BE) All of the above
F) A) and B)

Question 11

Which of the following statements is LEAST-Likely true?

Accepted Answer

A)  A slow charge is easiest on the battery.
B)  During a slow charge, the charging rate is between 10 amps and 25 amps.
C)  A battery is fully charged at the end of a slow charge when its specific gravity does not climb higher during two checks with a hydrometer, done 1 hour apart.
D)  Following a recharge, if the difference between hydrometer readings taken from different cells is more than 0.050, the battery should be replaced.E) None of the above
F) A) and B)

Question 12

A battery with a state of charge of 65% or more is considered "charged."

Accepted Answer

A) True 
 B)False
