🔍 Key Concepts

• Manufacturer recommendations for battery storage • Effects of heat and moisture on battery life and safety • Why exam questions often distinguish between ‘anywhere’ and specific conditions

💭 Think About

• What conditions (temperature and moisture) generally help batteries last longer and remain safe? • Which choice(s) would clearly be unsafe or shorten the life of a battery? • Does the exam expect you to follow general safety best practices, or to assume batteries are indestructible and can go anywhere?

✅ Before You Answer

• Eliminate any option that involves excessive heat for batteries • Ask whether storing batteries without regard to environment is consistent with safe seamanship • Focus on the common guidance to keep batteries cool, dry, and protected from damage
