true____ false____

Explanation:

Response
Question 76
Brief Explanations

To determine when to add water to a battery, we rely on battery maintenance knowledge. Batteries, especially lead - acid ones, should have water added after charging. When a battery is charged, the electrolyte (which contains water) expands. Adding water before charging can lead to overflow during the charging process as the electrolyte expands. So the correct time to add water is after charging.

Brief Explanations

In North America, the primary voltage configurations for industrial batteries (like forklift batteries) are typically 12, 24, 36, and 48 volts? Wait, no, actually, the standard primary voltage configurations for many industrial battery systems in North America for things like forklifts and similar equipment: a single cell in a lead - acid battery produces about 2 volts. So a 12 - volt system has 6 cells, 24 - volt has 12 cells, 36 - volt has 18 cells, and 48 - volt has 24 cells. Wait, the question says "Primary voltage configurations in North America are 24, 36 & 48 volts". But actually, 12 volts is also a very common primary voltage configuration (for example, car batteries are 12 - volt, which is a primary voltage configuration). So the statement that only 24, 36, and 48 are primary voltage configurations is false.

Step 1: Recall the voltage per cell

In a lead - acid battery, each cell typically produces approximately 2 volts.

Step 2: Calculate total voltage

We have an industrial battery with 18 cells. To find the total voltage, we use the formula: Total Voltage = Voltage per cell×Number of cells. So, Total Voltage=$2\times18 = 36$ volts.

Answer:

b. After charging
