When an automotive battery is fully charged, the sulfuric acid and water mixture will have a specific gravity of about ___.

When an automotive battery is fully charged, the sulfuric acid and water mixture will have a specific gravity of about 1.3. Specific gravity is actually the difference in the weight of water in comparison to a specific fluid. It is measured by a hydrometer. The amount of charge in the battery is normally measured by the specific gravity of the battery. The specific gravity of water is 1 and anything less than one is considered less dense while anything that has a specific gravity of more than 1 is considered more dense than water.

The specific gravity of a fully charged automotive battery's sulfuric acid and water mixture is about 1.3. This value reflects the density of the solution compared to water, indicating a higher concentration of sulfuric acid in the electrolyte. As the battery discharges, the specific gravity decreases, which helps monitor the battery's state of charge.
