Question 1 of 27070

Lead-acid batteries used aboard "T-Boats" must have which type of terminal connections?

🔍 Key Concepts

• 46 CFR Subchapter T electrical regulations for small passenger vessels • Requirements for battery installations on inspected vessels • Why secure, low-resistance connections are critical on lead-acid batteries

💭 Think About

• On a passenger vessel that can experience vibration and movement, what kind of connection is least likely to loosen or cause arcing over time? • Which clamp type would best ensure a consistently solid metal-to-metal contact with minimal maintenance and lowest fire risk? • Think about which options sound temporary or easily removable versus designed to stay tight and secure under all service conditions.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify what 46 CFR says about permanent versus temporary battery connections for inspected vessels (T-Boats). • Check which clamp styles are most associated with automotive convenience rather than marine safety and durability. • Eliminate any choices that could easily be knocked loose, slipped off, or removed by hand without tools.
