🔍 Key Concepts

• Wet cell NiCad vs. lead-acid batteries – how state of charge affects the electrolyte in each type • Specific gravity (hydrometer readings) – for which battery type this is useful, and for which it is NOT reliable • Voltage measurements under charge – why some instruments are more accurate than others for tracking state of charge

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: In a NiCad battery, does the specific gravity of the electrolyte change significantly with state of charge, the way it does in a lead-acid battery? • Compare the precision and purpose of a solenoid-type tester versus a digital voltmeter when you want an accurate, repeatable reading. • Think about which method is designed to work while charging and provides a clear numeric value suitable for monitoring state of charge over time.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which methods using a hydrometer are mainly applicable to lead-acid batteries, not NiCads. • Check which option provides the most accurate, quantitative voltage reading rather than a rough indication. • Confirm that the method you choose makes sense specifically for NiCad chemistry and for use during charging, not just at rest.
