How to connect an Ammeter
Put it in circuit
How to connect a Voltmeter
Provide power and ground.
How to connect an Ohmmeter (3 steps)
Press the leads together, make sure what your ohming out is out of the circuit. Test the ends on the power and ground of what your testing.

A circuit has 5 different resistors with all different resistances (5 ohm, 14 ohms, 25 ohms ect…) What is the resistance of the circut?
Less then the least resistor.
Which post on a battery is bigger?
Positive
What does CCA stand for?
Cold Cranking Amps
Does it matter which side you test for amps on a circuit? Why?
No. Amps stay the same throughout the whole circuit.
When load testing a battery how many Amps do you test it with?
half the number of the batteries CCA
When load testing how long do you hold it until reading?
15 seconds.
What is the lowest the battery is allowed to drop?
9.6 volts or more
How charged must the battery be when load testing?
75% soc or 12.4v
When charging a battery what number of volts is to not be exceeded?
16 volts.
What are electrolytes composed of
Sulfuric acid and water.
What side of the battery do you amm test when doing a drain or draw test
Ground
Parasitic draw test protocol
Take the key out of the ignition, break the circuit, and test on the ground cable to see if there is an excessive draw.
how long should a battery last
3-5 years
The starter can either be connected to what two gears?
Flywheel or Flex plate
What is a pinion gear?
The pinion gear is the small gear that is pushed out to turn the fly wheel or flex plate to turn it when trying to start the engine
