Which observation confirms that a battery is gassing during charge?

  • A.Bubbling visible at the cell vents
  • B.A rise in the specific gravity, which indicates that the acid is being returned to the electrolyte from the plates
  • C.A drop in voltage
  • D.A rise in the temperature of the case, which occurs whenever a battery is charged at its recommended rate

Answer: A

Once most of the sulphate has converted, further current electrolyses water and bubbles appear. Specific gravity does rise during charging, which makes the second option a real observation with a different meaning. Prolonged gassing wastes water. Working the distinction through on a single concrete case fixes it more firmly than any rule of thumb. Naming the cost of a choice alongside its benefit is what turns a fact into a design decision.
