Question 338Electricity & Electronics - Assistant Engineer

The correct answer is D) Trickle charging circuit. The trickle charging circuit is used to maintain a wet cell, lead-acid, storage battery in a fully charged state during long periods of disuse. Trickle charging provides a small, continuous flow of current to the battery to counteract the self-discharge that occurs over time, keeping the battery at a full state of charge without overcharging it. The other options are incorrect because: A) Normal charging circuits are used for regular charging, not long-term maintenance; B) High ampere charging circuits provide a higher current for faster charging, which can damage a battery during long-term storage; and C) Quick charging circuits are designed for rapid, short-term charging, not sustained maintenance.
