Examples of battery in the following topics:
-
- Mercury batteries were a common electrochemical battery that were phased out of mainstream use in the U.S. by the 1996 Battery Act.
- A mercury battery, also called a mercuric oxide battery or a mercury cell, is a non-rechargeable electrochemical battery.
- Although these batteries were very common in the mid-20th century, the Mercury-Containing and Rechargeable Battery Management Act (the Battery Act) passed in 1996 in the United States has largely phased out mercury batteries due to environmental concerns.
- This resulted from the disposal of mercury in single-use batteries, as well as of other toxic metal content such as lead from lead-acid batteries and the cadmium in rechargeable batteries.
- This is a small watch mercury battery.
-
- A rechargeable battery is a type of electrical battery that is comprised of one or more electrochemical cells.
- The U.S. demand for rechargeable batteries is growing twice as fast as the demand for non-rechargeable batteries, in part because rechargeable batteries have lower environmental impact and total cost of use than do disposable batteries.
- As with all batteries, rechargeable batteries consist of an anode, a cathode, and an electrolyte.
- Lead-acid batteries, invented in 1859 by French physicist Gaston Planté, are the oldest type of rechargeable battery.
- Lithium ion batteries are more expensive than NiCd batteries but operate over a wider temperature range while being smaller and lighter.
-
- Lithium-ion batteries are rechargeable batteries commonly used in consumer electronics; they rely on Li+ migration.
- Lithium-ion batteries (Li-ion batteries, or LIBs) are a family of rechargeable batteries in which lithium ions move from the negative electrode to the positive electrode during discharge.
- The ions follow the reverse path when the battery is charging.
- Li-ion batteries use a lithium compound as the electrode material.
- Lithium-ion batteries are common in consumer electronics.
-
- A battery is a device that converts chemical energy directly to electrical energy.
- A battery stores electrical potential from the chemical reaction.
- Thus a motorcycle battery and a car battery can both have the same voltage (more precisely, the same potential difference between battery terminals), yet one stores much more energy than the other.
- The car battery can move more charge than the motorcycle battery, although both are 12V batteries.
- This is the symbol for a battery in a circuit diagram.
-
- The development of the dry-cell battery allowed for a major advance in battery safety and portability.
- A common dry-cell battery is the zinc-carbon battery, which uses a cell that is sometimes called the Leclanché cell.
- Another example of a dry-cell battery is the alkaline battery.
- Alkaline batteries are almost the same as zinc-carbon batteries, except that the electrolyte used is potassium hydroxide (KOH) rather than ammonium chloride.
- Between them, the electrolyte paste works as the battery.
-
- A lead storage battery, also known as a lead-acid battery, is the oldest type of rechargeable battery and one of the most common energy storage devices.
- Lead-acid batteries have moderate power density and good response time.
- Camille Alphonse Faure's pasted-plate construction is typical of automotive batteries today.
- Once dry, the plates are stacked with suitable separators and inserted into the battery container.
- This type of battery can be recharged.
-
- The output, or terminal voltage of a voltage source such as a battery, depends on its electromotive force and its internal resistance.
- When you forget to turn off your car lights, they slowly dim as the battery runs down.
- Their gradual dimming implies that battery output voltage decreases as the battery is depleted.
- Electromotive force is directly related to the source of potential difference, such as the particular combination of chemicals in a battery.
- The voltage across the terminals of a battery, for example, is less than the emf when the battery supplies current, and it declines further as the battery is depleted or loaded down.
-
- A battery is a multiple connection of voltaic cells.
- For example, if you placed two 6v batteries in your car instead of the typical 12v single battery, you would be adding both the emfs and the internal resistances of each battery.
- (Note that each emf is represented by script E in the figure. ) A battery charger connected to a battery is an example of such a connection.
- The charger must have a larger emf than the battery to reverse current through it.
-
- This is exemplified by connecting two light bulbs in a parallel circuit with a 1.5V battery.
- In a series circuit, the two light bulbs would be half as dim when connected to a single battery source.
- However, if the two light bulbs were connected in parallel, they would be equally as bright as if they were connected individually to the battery.
- In a series circuit, the battery would last just as long as it would with a single light bulb, only the brightness is then divided amongst the bulbs.
- Three resistors connected in parallel to a battery and the equivalent single or parallel resistance.
-
- Electromotive force (EMF) is the voltage voltage generated by a battery or by the magnetic force according to Faraday's Law of Induction.
- Electromotive force, also called EMF (denoted and measured in volts) refers to voltage generated by a battery or by the magnetic force according to Faraday's Law of Induction, which states that a time varying magnetic field will induce an electric current.
- Devices that can provide EMF include electrochemical cells (batteries), thermoelectric devices, solar cells, electrical generators, transformers, and even Van de Graaff generators (examples shown in ).
- In the case of a battery, charge separation that gives rise to a voltage difference is accomplished by chemical reactions at the electrodes; voltaic cells can be thought of as having a "charge pump" of atomic dimensions at each electrode.
