Not all 12 volt batteries actually use acid. Lead/acid storage batteries do, however, and in those the acid is generally 4-5 molar sulfuric acid. "How much" acid depends on the volume of the battery ... some batteries are physically larger than others ... but for a rough figure you can assume that somewhere around 30% of the liquid by mass is sulfuric acid.

∙ 15y agoThat's a difficult question to answer. There are many sizes and types. Just look in the auto department of your local store and you'll see. The battery my car uses is about 40-50 pounds though. The main thing that makes them heavy is that they have lead plates in them.

∙ 14y agoJust one. A "battery" is a collection of "cells." A lead-acid cell has a potential of 2 volts (well, a little over 2v but that's not critical right now), so to get 12v out of a lead-acid battery you need to build one with six cells.
So...one "battery" consisting of six "cells." (In case you're wondering, a "flashlight battery" is really all the cells in the flashlight put together.)

Can rechargeable batteries be charged by a car battery charger?
It's a good idea to avoid charging any battery with a charger that was not designed specifically for that kind of battery. A car (vehicle) charger is generally designed to recharge 12 volt lead acid batteries. (The actual voltage of the battery and charge is a bit higher than 12 volts.) Rechargable battery packs come in different voltages, and many if not most are not lead acid types. A lot are nickel-cadmium or lithium types, and they need a "controlled charge" that a vehicular battery charger will not be able to provide. And that's setting aside the issue of the voltages of the battery and the charger, which is critical.It's a bad idea to attempt to recharge a battery with a charger that is not designed to recharge that "flavor" of energy storage device.
How many lipo batteries does a hpi vorza flux hp use?
It needs 2 batteries.
Is there a magnet in a batteries?
No, there are only atoms, electrons and chemicals in a battery. And there are many of these types of things in bigger batteries.
How many lemons does it take to make a light bulb light?
it takes 3,003,494,560,327,650,836,140,520,347,257,345,803,465,876,324,065,086,237,248 and it still might not get done
Why can't batteries electrocute people?
To become dangerous, the source of electricity must be powerful enough to create a current flow through the body, and to do that, the voltage of the source of electricity must be high enough to overcome the electrical resistance of the body. The voltage in most batteries isn't high enough to overcome the electrical resistance, and without that, no dangerous current. There are a few instances where a battery has killed a person, given the right contact points on the body and a low resistance of the person.
How many lead batteries are in a car?
Normally there is one lead acid battery in a car.
How many series-connected 2 V cells does a typical 24 V storage battery contain?
12 Normal storage batteries use lead acid technology. Lead acid cells have a nominal voltage of 2 volts each. Adding them in series adds all of the cell voltages together.
How many AA batteries are in a car battery?
None, a car battery is lead-acid, not alkaline.
What are the environmental concerns about a lead acid battery?
Lead acid batteries pose several environmental concerns. First, they contain lead, a toxic heavy metal that can contaminate soil and water if not properly disposed of. Secondly, the electrolyte (sulfuric acid) in these batteries is corrosive and can cause harm to human health and the environment if not handled carefully. Lastly, the manufacturing process and recycling of lead acid batteries can generate air pollution and contribute to greenhouse gas emissions. Proper disposal and recycling of lead acid batteries are essential to mitigate these environmental concerns.
What are the environmental impacts of UPS - uninterruptible power supplies?
UPSs generally contain lead/acid batteries. The worn-out battery should not be disposed of in a landfill or incinerated because lead is harmful to many organisms. Lead batteries recycle well and you can sometimes get money back for them.
How many lead acid cell batteries are needed for 48 volts?
Lead-Acid cells are generally considered to deliver 2 volts, so you'd need 24 cells to get 48 volt. Easiest way of doing that would be to use two 24V batteries as used in truck and heavy vehicles.
What will happen if a solar panel battery breaks?
Solar Batteries come in 3 distinctive types.Flooded lead acid,Gelled lead acid (aka gel batteries),and AGM lead acid (aka AGM batteries).Neither gelled or AGM batteries are designed to leak. However, if a gelled battery is charged in an inverted state, it can leak the electrolyte. An AGM battery never leaks.Flooded batteries however, can pose a problem. When a flooded battery is discharged and frozen, it can burst the container, allowing the acid to spill out as it thaws. This can cause both a environmental spill, and cause corrosion to the electrical equipment surrounding the battery installation.For this and many other reasons, many choose the more efficient, safer, and maintenance free AGM battery design indoors. Even when the inspector doesn't demand it.
Which element on the periodic table is used in batteries?
There are multiple elements used in modern batteries because different batteries are made with different elements. Many of them are made with zinc and silver, while lithium ion batteries use lithium.
hat is Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) and what are its benefits?
A battery energy storage system (BESS) is a technology that stores electrical energy in batteries for later use. It is designed to store excess electricity typically generated by renewable energy sources, such as solar or wind, and to release that electricity when high demand or intermittent generation sources are not available. Batteries used in energy storage systems can be of many types, including lithium-ion, lead-acid, liquid flow batteries, or other emerging technologies. The choice of battery technology depends on specific requirements such as cost-effectiveness, energy capacity, response time and cycle life.
What is the solution inside an electric cell?
It can be many, many things. In the simplest homemade battery it can be water. In a car (lead/acid) battery it is sulfuric acid (H2SO4). Many batteries (AA's, rechargeable batteries, etc.) are dry cells which dont even use a solution (NiMH, Li-ion, Li-po (well kind of in the case of li-po, its a gel), and many others)
What are three uses of lead?
lead is used to make many things aka it can be made into many different things such as: it is used in batteries also now lead has been taken out of pencils cause lead is poisonous it is also used for paints and crystals.
Does freezing batteries work?
Freezer Storage of BatteriesYour question is difficult to answer because you don't mention the kind/type of battery, or by what you mean by "...work?"Exposing lead-acid automotive batteries to freezing temperatures REDUCES the chemical activity rate and thus reduces the current the battery is able to produce.I don't know about the current "fancy" batteries [Nickel-Cadmium (Ni-Cad), or Nickel-Metal-Hydride (Ni-Mh), or the others whose names I can't think of right now].Back in the "old days" when we used Carbon-Zinc batteriesthere was a widespread rumor that when buying batteries in bulk [ we photographers bought them by the case] that storage in the freezer would extend the "shelf life."So I don't really know for certain BUT... many years ago when I was in the photography business, the common buzz was that if batteries were STORED in the freezer that the SHELF LIFEwould be extended.We all did it regularly, but I used so many batteries so fast that I didn't have enough storage time to be sure whether it worked or not.I "think" that storage of Carbon-Zinc batteries did extend storage life somewhat, but I have no idea regarding the newer/modern batteries. And I don't know if Carbon-Zinc batteries are still available.
