A battery high rate discharge (load capacity) test is being performed on a 12-volt battery. Technician A says that a good battery should have a voltage reading higher than 9.6 volts while under load at the end of the 15-second test. Technician B says that a battery should be discharged (loaded to two times its CCA rating). which technician is correct
Tech A
Tech B
