Question 430Electricity & Electronics - QMED

The correct answer is A) add 4 correction points for each 10°F the battery temperature is above 80°F. This is because the specific gravity of a lead-acid battery is temperature dependent. As the battery temperature increases above the standard reference temperature of 80°F, the specific gravity readings will be lower than the actual specific gravity. To correct for this, you need to add 4 correction points for each 10°F the battery temperature is above 80°F. The other options are incorrect because B) and C) call for subtracting correction points, which is the opposite of what is required, and D) specifies adding 10 correction points per 4°F, which is not the standard correction factor.
