Which storage temperature suits a lead acid battery?

  • A.Below freezing
  • B.Room temperature in a heated building, which prevents any condensation from forming upon the case of the battery
  • C.Cool but above freezing
  • D.Warm, which keeps the chemical activity high and therefore prevents the plates from sulphating during the storage

Answer: C

Self discharge roughly doubles for each ten degree rise, so a cool store preserves charge longest. Freezing risks cracking a discharged battery. Room temperature is acceptable, which makes the last option a workable if not optimal choice. Most errors here come from carrying across a result from a neighbouring case where it does not hold. Naming the cost of a choice alongside its benefit is what turns a fact into a design decision.
