Batteries - Ata 24

The electrolyte used in lead-acid batteries is sulfuric acid. The output voltage of a NiCad battery cell under load is 1.2 volts. To determine the state of charge of a NiCad battery, the specific gravity of the electrolyte must be checked. If the specific gravity in one cell of a lead-acid battery is low, distilled water should be added.
