What is the normal specific gravity of a fully charged lead acid battery cell?
Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation
Correct Answer: Option C — 1.280
Specific gravity measures the density of the electrolyte, which correlates directly to the state of charge. A fully charged lead-acid battery cell typically exhibits a specific gravity reading of 1.280 at a standard temperature of 20°C (68°F), indicating the sulfuric acid concentration is at its peak.
