Tech A says that a battery stores electrical energy in chemical form. Tech B says that a battery creates direct current. Who is correct?

Both A and B

Tech A says that checking the specific gravity will indicate the battery's cold cranking amps. Tech B says that a battery load test should be performed when the battery is heavily discharged. Who is correct?

Neither A nor B

Tech A says that a 12-volt battery has six cells. Tech B says that the more plates a cell in a battery has, the more voltage it creates. Who is correct?

Tech A

Tech A says that the voltage regulator controls the strength of the rotor's magnetic field. Tech B says that the voltage regulator is installed between the output terminal of the alternator and the positive terminal of the battery. Who is correct?

Tech A

Tech A says that when disconnecting the battery, the negative terminal should be disconnected first. Tech B says that baking soda and water will remove oxidation from battery terminals. Who is correct?

Tech A

Tech A says that a parasitic draw is measured in volts. Tech B says that pulling fuses one at a time can help locate a parasitic draw. Who is correct?

Tech B

Tech A says that a voltage drop of 0.8 volts on the starter ground circuit is within specifications. Tech B says that high starter draw current could be caused by a spun main bearing in the engine. Who is correct?

Tech B

Tech A says that the first item to check if an engine does not crank is the voltage to the S-terminal on the starter. Tech B says that the first item to check if an engine does not crank is battery voltage. Who is correct?
