Question 433Electricity & Electronics - QMED

The correct answer is A) ensure adequate battery room ventilation. When charging a lead-acid battery, hydrogen gas is produced, which can be explosive if allowed to accumulate in an enclosed space. Ensuring adequate ventilation in the battery room is crucial to dissipate the hydrogen gas and prevent any potential safety hazards. The other options are incorrect - B) starting with a trickle charge rate is not always necessary, C) violent gassing should be avoided, and D) the electrolyte level should be maintained above the top of the plates to prevent damage to the battery.
