Glossary of Terms
• Maintain a battery
BatteryMINDer ensures batteries are truly fully charged and will likely
continue improving the condition of the battery set to the fullest extent
possible.
• Rested
A battery set that has been as fully charged as possible and left
disconnected from
maintenance
-charger or any type load overnight.
• Specific Gravity
One of the key parameters of battery operation is the specific gravity of the
electrolyte. Specific gravity is the ratio of the weight of a solution to the
weight of an equal volume of water at a specified temperature. Specific
gravity is used as an indicator of the state of charge of a cell or battery.
• Sulfation
Occurs when the battery sits discharged for a long period of time and large
sulfate crystals build up in the plates. The large sulfate crystals increase
the resistance of the plates and makes the battery harder to recharge and
reduces the amount of power that can be drawn from the battery.
