How do you refurbish a 12 volt car battery?

Check the specific gravity of each of the cells in the battery. If one is low then put a rapid charge on the battery. If the cell comes back to normal then wait about 10 hours and check the specific gravity again. If the reading is low again you have a cell that is shorting out inside the battery case. Time to think about buying a new one.


What is the specific gravity of a fully charged car battery?

When an automotive battery is fully charged the sulfuric acid and water mixture will have what specific gravity?

when a battery is fully charged , the amount of sulfuric acid mixed with the water is sufficient to give a specific gravity of about 1.3 when battery is discharged to 50 percent, the specific gravity reading should be 1.2 any specific gravity reading that's less than 1.1 usually indicates a dead batteryThe answer isC. 1.3.


How can you check to see if your car battery is good?

This is very difficult. The old way was to check the specific gravity of the acid/water mixture in the individual cells. You need a voltmeter and know how to use it to check a battery. 35 Percent of battery replacements are unescellaly made because poor connections in the vehicle's charging system, but corrected when you buy the new battery.


Why do you get an intermittent battery light 1995 Buick century?

check your cars alternator drive belt for slakeness.Check your alternator for broken down rectifier normally housed insidethe alternator body.Also check your battery for its specific gravity level and charging parameters


What item of test equipment would be used to check the state of a non sealed battery?

A battery hydrometer which measures the specific gravity (relative density) of liquids, to determine the concentration of sulfuric acid in each cell.


Which instrument is used to test the specific gravity of a forklift battery?

That's a 'hydrometer'.


What is a specific gravity meter?

Known as a hygrometer. May be as simple as a few beads of differing specific gravity in a glass tube with a rubber bulb on top or a complex electronic device that determines specific gravity through measurement of other characteristics. A battery hygrometer uses floating beads to determine the charge of a lead acid battery because the specific gravity of the electrolyte will vary for a given state of charge.


How do you check the battery when the engine does not start?

check voltage of battery with multymeter,check water leval, specific gravitycheck if battery is too hot while cranking


Is this true The density or specific gravity of battery electrolyte decreases as a battery discharges?

yes it is true. in the discharge process, water is produced, which dilutes the electrolyte, so reducing its gravity.
