Q

What should be included when performing maintenance of alkaline batteries?

🔍 Key Concepts

• difference between alkaline batteries and lead-acid batteries • what a hydrometer measures and which battery type uses it • safe, routine battery inspection and connection practices

💭 Think About

• Which option describes a normal, safe maintenance task you would reasonably do during a regular inspection, without opening or changing the chemistry of the battery? • For which type of battery is checking electrolyte with a hydrometer and adding sulfuric acid appropriate—lead-acid or alkaline? • Think about which answer focuses on keeping the battery in good condition externally rather than altering its internal contents.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which type of battery actually has liquid electrolyte you can sample with a hydrometer. • Check which maintenance action involves changing the battery chemistry (something you normally would NOT do as routine maintenance). • Confirm which task is part of standard battery care: clean, tight terminals and connections vs. opening or replacing electrolyte.
