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
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.
True or False? A fully charged new battery willhave a low conductance reading.
