DIAGNOSTICS IN AUTOMOTIVE TECHNOLOGY: Batteries, Starting & Charging Systems

• LISTED BELOW ARE SEVERAL LINKS TO "HANDS ON" INTERACTIVE SHOP EXERCISES IN DIAGNOSING AUTOMOTIVE STARTING AND CHARGING SYSTEMS.
• THESE EXERCISES WILL ASSIST YOU IN UNDERSTANDING THE USE OF VOLT - AMPERAGE TESTERS IN DETERMINING WETHER AUTOMOTIVE BATTERIES, STARTERS AND CHARGING SYSTEMS MEET MANUFACTURERS SPECIFICATIONS.
• YOU WILL BE ASKED TO INPUT THE TEST INFORMATION THAT YOU COLLECTED FROM VEHICLES THAT YOU WORKED ON IN THE AUTO SHOP TO A COMPUTER PROGRAM THAT WILL GRAPHICALLY DISPLAY THE RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN VOLTS, AMPS AND TIME.
• YOUR INSTRUCTOR WILL TELL YOU WHICH GRAPHS OF YOUR RESULTS THAT YOU ARE TO PRINT OUT AND TURN IN FOR A GRADE.
• REMEMBER SAFETY IS OF THE UTMOST IMPORTANCE IN THE AUTO SHOP. WEAR YOUR SAFETY GLASSES AT ALL TIMES. AUTOMOTIVE BATTERIES CONTAIN SULPHURIC ACID WHICH IS EXTREMELY CORROSIVE TO FLESH. FLUSH WITH WATER AND NOTIFY THE NEAREST INSTRUCTOR IMMEDIATLY OF ANY INJURY OR BURNS!!!
