Question 1638Deck General70% to pass
Lead-acid batteries used aboard "T-Boats" must have terminal connections that are _______________.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) a permanent type.
The reason for this is that the US Coast Guard regulations for T-Boats (small passenger vessels) require that the battery terminal connections be of a permanent type, rather than temporary or easily removable connections. This is to ensure the electrical system remains secure and reliable, and to prevent accidental disconnection of the batteries which could lead to loss of power and potential safety issues on the vessel.
The other answer choices are incorrect because: A) greasing the terminals is not a requirement, B) the spring slip style is not specified, and D) temporarily clamped connections do not meet the regulatory standard for permanence.
