🔍 Key Concepts

• Differences between alkaline and lead-acid battery maintenance • What battery electrolyte is and why it is hazardous • Manufacturer and safety guidance for handling battery electrolyte

💭 Think About

• Which options describe a routine safety precaution that applies anytime you work with electrolyte, regardless of battery condition or age? • Do alkaline batteries normally require periodic testing or replacement of electrolyte, or are they more "maintenance-free" compared to flooded lead-acid batteries? • Which choices talk about when to replace or test electrolyte versus how to handle it safely?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which options are specific to alkaline battery chemistry versus generic battery safety. • Ask whether a set voltage per cell like 1.8 VDC is normally used as a trigger for changing electrolyte in alkaline types. • Confirm which practice would be recommended by safety regulations and MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet) for any contact with corrosive electrolyte.
