Question 432Electricity & Electronics - QMED
70% to passWhen charging, which of the following represents the recommended maximum allowable temperature for electrolyte in a lead-acid battery?
A110°F
B145°F
C165°F
D212°F
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) 110°F. The recommended maximum allowable temperature for electrolyte in a lead-acid battery is 110°F. This is based on the general guidelines and regulations for the maintenance and care of lead-acid batteries, which specify that the electrolyte temperature should not exceed 110°F to prevent damage to the battery and ensure safe operation. The other options are incorrect because they exceed the recommended maximum temperature. Temperatures above 110°F can lead to increased gassing, accelerated water loss, and potential thermal runaway in lead-acid batteries, which can compromise their performance and safety.
