🔍 Key Concepts

• Behavior of electrolyte levels in lead-acid storage batteries • Effect of charging rate (too high vs too low) on gassing and fluid loss • Difference between water loss by evaporation and acid loss or leakage

💭 Think About

• Think about what physical process could slowly reduce the liquid level in all cells over time without any obvious damage or spills. • Consider which choices would tend to increase gas production inside the battery and which would tend to reduce it. • Ask yourself: which condition happens naturally over time in a vented battery that is sitting in a warm environment or under normal charging?.

✅ Before You Answer

• Compare which options would realistically cause gas bubbles to form and escape from vent caps. • Decide whether too low a charging rate would move fluid out of the battery or simply fail to fully charge it. • Consider whether tight filler caps would make it easier or harder for liquid (or vapor) to escape over time.
