Does a charged battery weigh more than a discharged battery?
Yes, a charged battery weighs slightly more than a discharged battery due to the additional mass of the stored electrical energy.
My hp cyhromebook wont stay on unless plugged in. Bad battery?
Sulfation can happen when battery is not fully charged and remains discharged
Is it ok to charge an iPod battery before it is fully discharged?

How many hours does a lawn mower battery have to be on a float charger?
A battery float charger is intended only to keep a fully charged battery from losing its charge. It will NOT work to charge a battery that is discharged or damaged. Check the voltage of the battery to be charged. Do not use charger if the battery voltage is less than 9.6 volts.
What happens to the fluid in a battery as the charge decreases?

Is it safe to leave the car with the battery if it is dead?
Yes, it shouldn't be any different from leaving your cellphone with a discharged battery in it. If you have an immobilizer or alarm, it may require resetting once the battery has been charged.
Why would a discharged battery freeze in the winter?
A discharged battery can freeze in winter because it has a lower electrolyte concentration, which raises its freezing point. When a battery is fully charged, the electrolyte is more concentrated, making it less susceptible to freezing. A discharged battery has a higher water content relative to the acid, leading to a higher risk of freezing temperatures. Additionally, cold temperatures can further reduce the battery's ability to generate power, exacerbating the issue.
Can you charge a battery with solar panel producing 80 watts?
You sure can! I charge a marine battery with a 75 watt panel and it goes from a fairly good discharged state to fully charged in about four days.
Which rechargable batteries can be partially recharged without ruining the battery life?
A rechargable deep cycle battery can be fully discharged without damaging the battery. Any auto battery cannot be discharged without damaging the battery. Any dry cell rechargable battery can be fully discharged without damaging the battery.
Does a discharging battery can cause health problems?
Not a 'discharging' battery. Depends on the type of battery. A lead acid battery gives off Hydrogen when 'charging', which could be hazardous to health, if a spark causes it to explode. A 'discharged' battery can have an impact on it's own health. Best to keep them charged.
