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

When a lead storage battery discharges the concentration of?
sulfuric acid decreases
What electrolyte is used in a lead storage battery?
The electrolyte in a lead storage battery is a solution of sulfuric acid and water.
The solution in a battery that conducts electricity?
electrolyte
What does electrolyte do inside a battery?
It depends on the type of battery. In many batteries the electrolyte is not consumed in the process. It provides ions to one side of the reaction, and these ions are replaced in the other side maintaining the reaction. However in other reactions (such as the lead-acid battery in a car) the electrolyte (sulphuric acid) is consumed in the reaction (that is it combines with the electrodes depositing there, a reaction that is reversed with recharging), leaving an electrolyte that is mostly water.
What is electrolytic battery?
electro lytic battery is that which having two electrodes and having magnesium sulphate All batteries are electrolytic. The electrolyte can be an acid or a base, solid, liquid or gel.
When a lead storage battery discharges the concentration of?
sulfuric acid decreases
What is the fluid used as electrolyte in the battery what happens to the relative density of the fluid as the state of charge decreases?
In all honesty the fluid or electrolyte is water. And the relative density of water as the state of charge decreases is also decreased.
What does acid have to do with a wet cell battery?
The sulfuric acid in an automotive battery (the most common form of wet cell), is an electrolyte. As the battery discharges, the sulfuric acid reacts with the lead and lead oxide plates to form lead sulfate. When the battery is charging, the reaction is reversed.
In a car battery an acid solution is called?
Electrolyte of sulphuric acid to a specific gravity of 1250.
Is car battery acid a liquid solution or a gaseous solution?
Battery electrolyte consists of sulphuric acid, which is a liquid to a specific gravity of 1250 g/L.
What is a gel battery?
Batteries contain something called electrolyte. In things like car batteries the electrolyte is often a liquid, which can be messy since liquids can leak. A gel battery is simply a battery using a gelled electrolyte.

What acids are in a car battery?
It is Electrolyte and the primary acid in Electrolyte is Sulfuric Acid.
What electrolyte is used in a lead storage battery?
The electrolyte in a lead storage battery is a solution of sulfuric acid and water.
What is the function of a battery hydrometer?
to check how much electrolyte is present in the battery
What kind of battery has paste electrolyte inside of it?
A dry-cell battery
From which Android version does this OS warn for the need of battery replacement after the current battery had too many charges and discharges for working well?
Most of the 4.0 and upward Android version does warn the need of a battery replacement after the current battery has had too many discharges.
