🔍 Key Concepts

• Specific gravity as a measure of how dense a liquid is compared to pure water • What happens chemically to the acid and water in a lead-acid battery during charging vs. discharging • Relationship between state of charge and electrolyte specific gravity

💭 Think About

• Think about whether the electrolyte becomes more like pure water or more like acid when the battery is discharging. • Consider: during charging, is acid being used up or restored to the electrolyte? How would that change its density? • Ask yourself: in which condition (fully charged or fully discharged) would you expect a higher hydrometer reading (higher specific gravity)?

✅ Before You Answer

• Be clear on what specific gravity means: density of electrolyte compared to water (water is about 1.000). • Recall which battery condition (charged or discharged) corresponds to a higher acid concentration in the electrolyte. • Verify whether charging and discharging have opposite effects on the concentration and thus the specific gravity.
