In order to produce electricity from any motion source (such as a windmill) you must have an electric generator to produce the power that charges the battery.
The windmill supplies the motion needed to turn the generator. The generator will produce power when the windmill is powered by enough wind to turn the generator.
The generator is connected to the battery and the power is stored by the battery. Usually, but not always, there is a regulator attached between the generator to shut the flow of electricity off when the battery has been sufficiently charged. This feature is used to prevent battery failure due to overcharging or at the very least extend battery life by optimizing the charge times.
The regulator may also detect battery drain and will turn on the current from the generator when the battery needs charging. (assuming the windmill is powered by wind and turning)
Batteries store and emit DC (direct current) and therefore usually get power directly from a generator. In some applications the windmill may generate AC (alternating current) by using an "alternator" (instead of a generator) to create power.
When that type of approach is used an additional electronic device called a "rectifier" is needed to convert the AC current to DC current in order to charge batteries -- which can only be charged by Direct Current.

How can you charge a battery from a windmill?
You have to put the battery charger in nacelle of wind turbine. Priyang Doshi
How do you make a battery run windmill?
hook a battery to it
How do you charge dry charge battery?
Unless it is a rechargeable battery you cannot charge a dry charge battery. If it is rechargeable you need to purchase a charger for that size battery. Automobile batteries are not dry charge.
Can you charge a battery with heat?
No, it takes electricity to charge a battery.
Can a battery have a magnetic charge?
No the battery don't have a magnetic charge.
How do you charge a vespa 250 battery?
how do you charge a vespa battery
What does a battery charge?
A battery charges nothing it accepts a charge from the alternator.
How car battery will charge through microwave?
You can not charge a battery in the microwave.
Does plugging in a f-250 help charge the battery?
If you are plugging in a battery charger connected to the battery, yes it will charge the battery. If you are referring to plugging in the block heater, then NO it will not charge the battery it will only warm the oil in the engine block. If you are referring to plugging in a battery heater then NO it will not charge the battery and will only keep it warm.
How do you charge a battery after it dies?
Connect a battery charger to the battery and let it fully charge. Do not charge it with the cars alternator. If it will not accept a charge the battery needs replacing. Connect positive (+) red cable to positive post and black negative (-) cable to negative post. Trickle charge the battery do not fast charge it as the charge won't take. Sure it will start the car a few times but a good charge to a battery is one that is done slowly
What kind of charge is a battery charge?
DC Charge
Can you charge a battery and it still be no good?
If you charge the battery and it is not working then there is something wrong with the battery. Batteries are not usually repairable.
