It's a way to test the electrolyte with a barometer. They are avail. at auto parts stores. They have floating balls like the ones for radiators.

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.


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.

When an automotive battery is fully charged the sulfric acid and water mixture will have a specific gravity of about?

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. The answer is C. I found this on Page 78 of the Mechanics Study Unit of Physical Science (Penn Foster). One of the uses of a hydrometer is to measure the condition of electrolyte solution in a storage battery of the type used in a car. When a battery is fully charged, the amount of sulfuric gravity of about 1.3.


How do you measure specific gravity of the electrolyte in a car battery?

Any auto parts or auto specialties store will have a device - or a choice of devices - that will do exactly that . They are not expensive. <><> Device is 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.
