The advantage of using circuit breakers in place of fuses for for a circuit protection device is

• lower cost

• improved current flow characteristics

• resets when the short is not present

• quick and simple replacement

Extreme care must be used to avoid open flames or sparks around a charging battery because the battery

• case is inflammable

• electrolytes are explosive

• gases are explosive

• case is explosive

A battery load test is performed by

• Loading the battery at 1/2 the cold cranking amps for 15 sec.

• Cranking the engine for 3 minutes.

• Removing the surface charge.

The liquid in the battery, a mixture of water and sulfuric acid, is called

• Soda and water

• Electrochemical

• Electrolyte

• Electoliquid

When load testing a 12 volt battery, the voltage reading should be AT LEAST

• 9.6 volts

• 10.2 volts
