Question 2761
If the battery is a type that requires maintenance and the fluid level does not cover the lead plates, to replenish the fluid you should add...
- Only sulfuric acid.
- Both components it contains, that is, distilled water and sulfuric acid, in equal proportions.
- Only distilled water, since sulfuric acid does not evaporate.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Only distilled water, since sulfuric acid does not evaporate.
In a serviceable battery, the fluid level is restored by adding distilled water. Sulfuric acid is not replenished because it does not evaporate.
