What kind of a battery is a car battery?
Lead acid, wet cell.
Is a car battery a wet cell or dry cell?
A car battery is a wet cell. Only recently have dry cells been introduced, but your typical car battery is a wet lead storage battery.
Is a lead acid car battery the same as a 9 volt alkaline battery?
No, a lead acid battery is a wet cell battery and a 9 volt alkaline battery is a dry cell battery.
What does a wet cell car battery contain?
A car battery is a rechargeable, or secondary, wet cell battery that contains lead, lead oxide, plates and an electrolyte solution that contains a mixture of water and acid.
Can a car take any kind of battery acid?
It is unusual to add battery acid to a car. Cars (not hybrids) normally use lead acid batteries and the acid is sulfuric acid, however you don't add sulfuric acid. When the fluid in a cell is low you add distilled water. Only the water has evaporated, the acid has not.
What kind of battery is a car battery?
A car battery is typically a lead-acid battery, which is designed to provide high bursts of power to start the engine and also power the vehicle's electrical systems.
Is a car battery a cell?
No. Strictly speaking you get a battery when you have several cells together. The typical car battery consists of 6 lead-acid cells connected in series.
What are two differences between a car battery and a flashlight battery?
there are lots more amps in a car battery eg there about 1.5 in a flash light and in a car battery there about 300 A car battery is a wet cell battery and a flashlight battery is a dry cell battery.
How many cells does a 6 volt battery have?
It depends on what the 6 cells are, but the battery voltage is just 6 times the cell voltage. In a car battery (lead-acid cells) - 12V In a dry-battery (zinc-carbon cells) - 9V
Can you just add an Epsom salt and distilled water solution to your car battery when cells are low and not drain battery of current acid completely?
Your car battery is a "lead-acid" battery. I'm not sure where you might haveheard about Epsom salt, but that's an easy and effective way to completelyruin the battery for good. If the battery is not sealed and you have accessto the cells, then when a cell gets low ... meaning the tops of the plates aresticking out above the surface of the liquid ... then you add distilled waterONLY to bring it up just over the top of the plates, and nothing else.
What is a car battery an example of?
Lead/acid, wet cell, electrical storage device.
Why is a section of a car battery referred to as a lead-acid cell?
A section of a car battery is referred to as a lead-acid cell because it consists of lead dioxide (PbO2) as the positive plate and sponge lead (Pb) as the negative plate, immersed in a sulfuric acid (H2SO4) electrolyte. This chemical combination allows the cell to produce electrical energy through a reversible electrochemical reaction. When the battery discharges, lead and lead dioxide react with the sulfuric acid to generate electricity, and when it recharges, the process is reversed. The lead-acid cell design has been widely used in automotive batteries due to its cost-effectiveness and reliability.
