When the specific gravity of the electrolyte of a lead-acid cell is reduced to 1.1 to 1.15 the cell is in___________?
Correct answer: B. discharged state
- A. charged state
- B. discharged state
- C. both (A) and (B)
- D. active state
Explanation
During discharge, sulfuric acid is consumed and water is formed, so the electrolyte specific gravity falls. A value around 1.10 to 1.15 therefore indicates a discharged cell.
