Question

Two technicians are discussing battery load testing. Technician A says that if the battery fails the load test, it is bad and

should be replaced. Technician B says if it fails the load test, it should be fully charged and the test repeated. Who is
correct?
Select one:
a. Technician A
b. Technician B
o
c. Both Technicians A and B
O
d. Neither Technician A nor B

Answer 1

The correct technician is;

b. Technician B

Step-by-step explanation:

During battery load testing, the amperes produced by a battery that is at least 75 percent charged when a load tester applies a calibrated load of half the cold cranking amp rating of the battery for 15 seconds is measured. A battery that gives a voltage reading of above 9.6 volts all through the test is a good battery. However, if the voltage reading goes lower than 9.6 volts at about the end of the test, the battery could be 'bad', or may require recharging and retesting, where it was not on full charge before the test

Therefore, Technician B is correct
