Show answer

Correct answer

  • CAgua destilada.Distilled water.
Explanation

The battery supplies electrical energy for the vehicle's needs, mainly when the engine is stopped, using chemical energy produced by the reaction of an electrolyte (a solution of distilled water and sulphuric acid). Over time, the distilled water in the battery cells gradually evaporates. When the level is low, we will add distilled water without going above the normal level and avoiding splashes.
