| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| If each cell, connected in series, equals 2 volts, how would a 12-cell lead acid battery be rated? | 24 volts. |
| A lead-acid battery with 12 cells connected in series (no-load voltage = 2.1 volts per cell) furnishes 10 amperes to a load of 2-ohms resistance. The internal resistance of the battery in this instance is | 0.52 ohm. |
| If electrolyte from a lead-acid battery is spilled in the battery compartment, which procedure should be followed? | Apply sodium bicarbonate solution to the affected area followed by a water rinse. |
| Hydrometer reading of a lead acid storage battery electrolyte is | The hydrometer reading does not require a temperature correction if the electrolyte temperature is 80°F. |
| A fully charged lead-acid battery will not freeze until extremely low temperatures are reached because | Most of the acid is in the solution. |
| What determines the amount of current which will flow through a battery while it is being charged by a constant voltage source? | The state-of-charge of the battery. |
| Batteries of different voltages (but similar capacities) can be connected in series with each other across the charger, and charged using the constant current method. | TRUE |
| Batteries of different ampere-hour capacity and same voltage can be connected in parallel with each other across the charger, and charged using the constant voltage method. | TRUE |
| Batteries of the same voltage and same ampere-hour capacity must be connected in series with each other across the charger, and charged using the constant current method. | FALSE |
| The method used to rapidly charge a nickel-cadmium battery utilizes | constant voltage and varying current. |
| The purpose of providing a space underneath the plates in a lead acid battery's cell container is to | prevent sediment buildup from contacting the plates and causing a short circuit. |
| Which condition is an indication of improperly torqued cell link connections of a nickel-cadmium battery? | Heat or burn marks on the hardware. |
| The presence of any small amount of potassium carbonate deposits on the top of nickel-cadmium battery cells in service is an indication of | normal operation. |
| What is the likely result of servicing and charging nickel-cadmium and lead acid batteries together in the same service area? | Contamination of both types of batteries. |
| Which of the following best describes the operating principal in a nickel-cadmium battery installed in an aircraft? | To completely charge a nickel-cadmium battery, some gassing must take place; thus, some water will be used. |
| The electrolyte of a nickel-cadmium battery is the lowest when the battery is | in a discharged condition. |
| The electrolyte of a nickel cadmium battery is highest when the battery is | in a fully charged condition. |
| The end-of-charge voltage of a 19-cell nickel-cadmium battery, measured while still on charge, | depends upon its temperature and the method used for charging. |
| Nickel-cadmium batteries which are stored for a long period of time will show a low liquid level because | electrolyte becomes absorbed into the plates. |
| How can the state-of-charge of a nickel-cadmium battery be determined? | By a measured discharge. |
| What may result if water is added to a nickel-cadmium battery when it is not fully charged? | Excessive spewing is likely to occur during the charging cycle. |
| In nickel-cadmium batteries, a rise in cell temperature | causes a decrease in internal resistance. |
| Which of the following is most likely to cause thermal runaway in a nickel-cadmium battery? | Excessive current is drawn from the battery. |
| An ammeter in a battery charging system is for the purpose of indicating the | rate of current used to charge the battery. |
| What precaution is usually taken to prevent electrolyte from freezing in a lead acid battery? | Keep the battery fully charged. |
| What is the ampere-hour rating of a storage battery that is designed to deliver 45 amperes for | 112.5 ampere-hour. |
| How many hours will a 140 ampere-hour battery deliver 15 amperes? | 9.33 hours. |
| The constant current method of charging a ni-cad battery | is the method most effective in maintaining cell balance. |
| Which of the following best describes the contributing factors to thermal runaway in a nickel-cadmium battery installed in an aircraft? | Low internal resistance intensified by high cell temperatures and a high current discharge/charge rate in a constant potential (voltage) charging system. |
| When a charging current is applied to a nickel cadmium battery, the cells emit gas | toward the end of the charging cycle. |
| Nickel-cadmium battery cases and drain surfaces which have been affected by electrolyte should be neutralized with a solution of | boric acid. |
