What is the effect of temperature on the specific gravity of lead acid batteries?
  • Higher temperature results in a higher specific gravity reading.
  • Correct Answer
    Higher temperature results in a lower specific gravity reading.
  • Temperature has no effect on the specific gravity reading.
  • Lower temperature results in a lower specific gravity reading.

What will cause an individual battery cell to reverse polarity?
  • The charging circuits are connected in the correct polarity but all of the cells are equally charged.
  • High discharge rates without allowing for a cool down period.
  • Correct Answer
    When discharging the battery — if a cell becomes weaker then the remaining cells the discharge current will effectively charge the weaker cell in reverse polarity.
  • Insufficient charging which does not bring all of the cells up to full charge.

What is a gel cell battery and how is it maintained & cared for?
  • Correct Answer
    Gel cell batteries are typically sealed — special charging rates and voltages may be required.
  • Gel cell batteries are lead acid with a solid electrolyte — each cell is checked with a voltmeter.
  • Gel cell batteries are NICAD with a solid electrolyte — each cell is checked with a voltmeter.
  • Gel cell batteries are have special liquid electrolytes — they are charged with the NICAD charging rates and voltages.
