Q

After performing a hydrometer test on a fully charged battery, cell 1 has a specific gravity of 1.279 and cell 2 has a specific gravity of 1.225. What should be done with this battery?

a. Recharge and test.
b. Return to service.
c. Replace.
d. Replace electrolyte.

A

c. Replace.

Because the variation between the specific gravity in the two cell is greater than 0.050 on a fully charged battery, the battery should be replaced.
