Technician A is CORRECT |
|
Technician A says the reserve capacity rating of a battery is the amount of steady current that a fully charged battery can supply for 20 hours without voltage dropping below 10.5 volts - Technician B says an ampere-hour rating states how many hours the battery is capable of supplying 25 amperes. |
Technician A is CORRECT |
|
NONE |
none |
