Question 1 of 27070

If the voltage of some cells in a battery are found to be reversed, what is indicated?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Correct polarity when connecting a charger to a battery • What happens inside a cell when current is forced through it in the wrong direction • The relationship between over‑discharge / reverse charging and cell damage

💭 Think About

• Think about how a battery is normally connected to a charger: which terminals must match? • If some cells end up with their voltage reversed, what does that tell you about the direction of current through those cells during charging? • Which option best describes a situation where current flowed the opposite way it should have in the affected cells?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which answer choice mentions reversed polarity during charging • Eliminate any choice that suggests polarity does not matter in charging a battery • Eliminate any choice that suggests polarity was correct if the cells are now reversed, since that would contradict the observed condition
