Best Answer

A lead acid cell has an off charge/no load voltage of 2.2 volts, so that 12 cells in series will have a voltage of 26.4 volts. When you float this across a charging supply, standard practice is to increase the voltage to 2.3 volts per cell, so that the total voltage becomes 27.6 volts.

Airplanes normally have a 27.6 volt DC system, and larger aircraft also have a 115 volt 400 Hz system. Also, rare these days, possibly a 115 volt wild frequency system.

Note that the so called 12 volt system in a car is actually 13.8 volts.

How many cells are in a battery?

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.


How can a fruit act as a battery to produce voltage?

A battery is basically 2 metals separated by acid (which is used as an electrolyte). All you have to do is to place 2 metal plates (made out of certain metals) inside the fruit, and connect them into an electric circle. You'll see it produces weak but noticeable voltage.


Can lead acid battery work as alkaline battery?

Perhaps it would be possible to replace an alkaline battery with a lead acid battery of the same voltage and current capacity. BUT the construction, size, and chemistry of the two types are totally different.


What is a good voltage reading for a 12 volt battery?

For lead-acid chemistry, as in a car battery, think 13.6 volts DC.


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


About four week ago you replaced an old battery that was leaking acid Now your new battery is leaking acid is it just a bad battery or could something else be causing the new battery to leak?

Leaking from where on the battery, the caps? If so the charging system may be over charging the battery and causing the acid to boil out. Could be a voltage regulator problem.


What is the voltage of a cell in a lead-acid battery?

Each cell of a modern lead-acid battery should have an average voltage of about 2 volts but, depending on the cell's condition and state of charge, the exact voltage at any time may be somewhere in a range from about 1.8 volts (when it is almost fully discharged) and 2.25 volts when it is fully charged.


How do you get the voltage rating of the battery?

The voltage of a battery is determined by the chemistry inside it ... zinc/carbon, nickel-metal-hydride, lead-acid, lithium ion, etc. But nobody's expected to be able to look at it, or smell it, and know the voltage. If the voltage isn't printed on it, then you have to pull out the old voltmeter and measure it.
