You have already some basic knowledge and skills covered in this module
because you have been working for some time; and already completed
training in this area.
If you can demonstrate competence to your teacher in a particular skill,
talk to your teacher so you don’t have to undergo the same training again. If
you have a qualification or Certificate of Competency from previous trainings
show it to him/her. If the skills you acquired are consistent with and
relevant to this module, they become part of the evidence. You can present
these for RPL. If you are not sure about your competence skills, discuss this
with your teacher.
After completing this module, ask your teacher to assess your
competence. Result of your assessment will be recorded in your competency
profile. All the learning activities are designed for you to complete at your
own pace.
In this module, you will find the activities for you to complete and
relevant information sheets for each learning outcome. Each learning
outcome may have more than one learning activity.
This module is prepared to help you achieve the required competency, in
receiving and relaying information. This will be the source of information
that will enable you to acquire the knowledge and skills in Arabic Language
and Values Education independently at your own pace with minimum
supervision from your teacher.

BATTERY CONSTRUCTION
The battery case is molded plastic. The plates are molded to plate straps
to form plate groups. To make a battery cell, a positive plate group fits into a
negative plate group. Porous separators are placed between the plates.
This prevents positive and negative plates from touching while allowing
electrolyte to circulate between the plate. The assembly of plate groups and
separators is an element. The elements fit into compartments in the battery
case to favor cells. Heavy leads connectors attach to the cell terminals and
connect the cells in series. A plastic cover forms the top of the battery.
Some batteries have openings in the cover from when filler plugs or vent
caps are removed to add water maintenance free batteries do not have
removable caps.
Follow the safety cautions listed below when working with batteries,
testing or charging battery.

3. If the battery has vent caps, make sure the vent holes are open
before charging. Cover the caps with a damp cloth. Discard the
cloth after the battery is charged.
Directions: Select the correct answer to each question and write the letter
on the blank provided for.
________1. The battery in an electro chemical device, this means the battery
a. makes chemicals by electronic means
b. uses chemicals to provide electricity
c. has non-chemical plates
d. does not use an electrolyte

Batteries are tested in two ways, for state of change and for
performance. The state of change of a vent – cap battery is determined with
the hydrometer. The built-in battery provides this information. The battery
load test indicates if the battery is capable of performing its job.
HYDROMETER TEST
1. Ball Hydrometer
2. Float Hydrometer
The float hydrometer is used in the same way it will float in the
electrolyte drawn in. Marks on the float stem show the electrolyte specific
gravity. This indicates the state of charge, the more fully-charged the
battery, the higher the float.

Topic 1:
Connect a memory holder (a 9-volt battery and adaptor) to the
cigarette lighter to keep the volatile memories alive while the battery is
disconnected from the vehicle. Follow the manufacturer’s instruction to
avoid overloading the 9-volt battery.
Disconnect the ground cable clamp, use a box wrench or battery pliers.
Loosen the clamp ball then pull the clamp from the terminal. Do not use
other pliers or an open-end wrench. If the clamp sticks, use a battery clamp
puller, do not pry the clamp off with screw driver or pry bar. You might
break the cover. Next, disconnect the insulated cable from the battery.
Clean the terminals and cables clamp. Detach the spring ring cable clamp
squeeze a part the ends of the rings with pliers. Next, disconnect the
insulated cable from the battery clean the terminals and cable clamps
loosen the hold-down clamps and remove the battery. Clean the battery tray
and hold-down clamps if the parts are metal, clean them with stiff brush on
a solution of baking soda and water. Open the water drain holes in the
bottom of the tray, after rinsing and drying, paint the tray and other metal
parts with acid resistant paint.

Slow Charge: The battery is given a charge of a few amperes for several
hours.
For further charging, reduce the charging rate to 20 amp or less for up
to 3 hours longer. Change a maintenance free batter until the green dot
appears. To connect the charger to a side terminal battery, it may be
necessary to install bolts or adapters in the terminal bolt holes. When
charging a battery in a vehicle, disconnect the ground cable from the battery.
This protects electrical & electronic components from the high charging
voltage.
WARNING:
Quick or fast charging two battery requires that the battery be
monitored at all times and the charging time must be controlled. Do no fast
charge a battery longer than tow hours. Excessive fast charging can damage
the battery. Do not allow the voltage of a 12-volt battery exceed 15.5 volts.
Also, do not allow temperature to rise above 125ºF.
