Question 1657 Deck General

The correct answer is B) in a tray lined with suitable material that resists damage from the electrolyte. This is the correct answer because the regulations for "T-Boats" (uninspected passenger vessels) require that storage batteries be located in a tray lined with a material that can resist damage from the battery's electrolyte. This helps to contain any leaks or spills and prevent damage to the surrounding areas. The other options are incorrect because: A) lowering the center of gravity is not a requirement for battery placement, C) the batteries do not need to be in sight of the main engines, and D) the batteries do not need to be in locked closets with restricted ventilation, which could be a safety hazard.
