When discussing the reasons why a change from 12 V to 42 V batteries is likely
in the future, Technician A says this will produce an increase in power for an
increased range of accessories. Technician B says this will provide an increase in
power but also an increase in maintenance. Who is right?
1. A only.
2. B only.
3. Both A and B.
4. Neither A nor B.
While discussing what is indicated by a vehicle’s charge indicator: Technician A says that any positive reading on an ammeter shows that the generator is in working condition. Technician B says that if the voltmeter reading does not increase immediately after starting the engine, the battery is bad. Who is correct?
Technician A
Technician B
Both A and B
Neither A nor B
True or False? A fully charged new battery willhave a low conductance reading.

- While discussing the results of a load test: Technician A says that if a battery fails a load test but the voltage rises above 12.4 volts when the load is removed, the battery should be replaced. Technician B says that if a battery fails a load test but the voltage rises above 12.4 volts when the load is removed, the battery is able to hold a charge. Who is correct? Technician A Technician B Both A and B Neither A nor Barrow_forwardTechnician A says that before a battery is removed, a memory' saver ought to be installed. Technician B says that before a battery is removed, the positive cable should be disconnected and the area around the battery should be cleaned. Who is correct? Technician A Technician B Both A and B Neither A nor Barrow_forwardTechnician A says that the reserve rating of a battery is the amount of steady current that a fully charged battery can supply tor 20 hours without the voltage falling below 10.5 volts.
