2 volts
AnswerAccording to WikiPedia (http:/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rechargeable_battery), the nominal cell voltage of a Lead Acid wet-cell battery is 2.1 volts, this implies there are 6 cells in a 12 volt Lead Acid wet-cell battery.
Cell. Each cell is wired in series with the next one. Lead-acid cells produce 2 volts each, thus for 6 cells we get 12 volts.
A C dry cell battery has a voltage of 1.5 volts. The amperage produced by the battery is dependant upon what the load current is of the connected device. The higher the load current the quicker the battery will discharge, shortening the life of the battery. Rechargeable C cells will have to be recharged at this point in time. Four cells in parallel will produce a total of 1.5 volts. Four cells in series will produce a voltage of 6 volts.
The number of cells in a battery determine the battery's voltage. Different types of batteries have different cell voltages. The cell voltage is dependant on the reactive metals used. A typical car battery will have six cells. Because a typical cell voltage has a source voltage of approximately 2.0 volts, this makes a car battery produce a voltage of 12 volts.
Roughly 2.2 volts
Each cell in a typical car battery has a little over 1.5 volts. Eight cells per battery equals the battery's total voltage.
Lithium cells produce 3 volts.
Battery voltage / number of cells = cell voltage 12/6 = 2 volts cell voltage
Lots of things have an electrochemical cell in them. That electrochemical cell is a battery. You cell phone has at least two of them. There is a small one that "keeps alive" memory if you remove the primary battery. A flashlight has a cell or cells in it. We could go on all day. Motor vehicles have a battery, which is a collection of electrochemical cells. Note that a battery could be composed of a single cell, like the "AAA", "AA", "C" and "D" cells. We call them batteries, but they are a single electrochemical cell. A 9-volt battery, on the other hand, has several cells in it stacked in series so their voltages add. That car battery we mentioned is 6 electrochemical cells "long" so that the voltages will sum to the 12 volts (which is actually a bit over 13 volts).
For the most common battery chemistry, 3 cells of 1.5 volt each.
The power output on a car battery will depend on how many cells the battery has. Each cell puts out 2.1 volts.
Its called a battery because it is a group of cells. In the case of a conventional lead-acid battery each cell produces about 2 volts. To obtain 12 volts, 6 of these cells must be combined, forming a battery. Sometimes the term battery is a misnomer. In the case of 1.5v alkaline "batteries" they are technically just one cell.
