[amp_mcq option1=”produces excessive gassing” option2=”loosens the active material” option3=”increases the temperature resulting in buckling of plates” option4=”all above” correct=”option4″]
The correct answer is D. all above.
Overcharging a lead-acid battery can cause a number of problems, including:
- Excessive gassing: This can lead to the formation of hydrogen gas, which can be explosive.
- Loosening of the active material: This can cause the plates to buckle and the battery to lose capacity.
- Increased temperature: This can cause the battery to overheat and damage the internal components.
To avoid these problems, it is important to charge a lead-acid battery properly. The charging voltage should be set to the correct level and the battery should not be left to charge for too long.
