Question 1886Deck General70% to pass
On board small passenger vessels, storage batteries containing an electrolyte must be set in trays constructed of _______________.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) a material resistant to damage by the electrolyte.
On board small passenger vessels, storage batteries containing an electrolyte must be set in trays constructed of a material that is resistant to damage by the electrolyte, such as acid-resistant plastic or fiberglass. This is to prevent the electrolyte from corroding or damaging the tray, which could lead to leaks or other issues. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not specifically address the need for the tray material to be resistant to the electrolyte. Porosity, fireproofing, and strength are important considerations, but they are secondary to the primary requirement of electrolyte resistance.
