Question 7Electricity & Electronics - QMED

The correct answer is A) keep the battery fully charged. Keeping the battery fully charged is the best procedure to prevent it from freezing when exposed to low temperatures. A fully charged battery has a lower freezing point compared to a partially charged or discharged battery. This is because the electrolyte solution in a charged battery has a higher specific gravity, which lowers the freezing point. Leaving the battery in a discharged state increases the risk of the electrolyte freezing, which can damage the battery. The other options are not as effective. Disconnecting the battery (B) or removing the battery caps (C) does not prevent the electrolyte from freezing. Securely covering the battery (D) may provide some insulation, but keeping it fully charged is the primary method to avoid freezing in low temperatures.
