Marine Electrical Systems USCG Question #1025 (Set 35)

What statement is true concerning the actual mixing process and the container used when mixing electrolyte for a lead-acid storage battery?

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option C — pour the acid into distilled water in a glass container

Adding water to concentrated sulfuric acid releases extreme exothermic heat that can violently boil and splatter acid. Always pour acid slowly into distilled water within an approved glass or chemically resistant container to safely dissipate heat.
