During the idle period of the battery, strong electrolyte tends to change the active material of the cell into____________?
Correct answer: B. PbSC-4
- A. Pb02
- B. PbSC-4
- C. PbO
- D. Pb
Explanation
During prolonged idling, the sulfuric acid electrolyte reacts with the lead-based active material and forms lead sulfate, PbSO₄. This is the sulfation process and can make the battery difficult to recharge.
