What has six wet cells made of lead and lead dioxide plates that are in sulfuric acid solution?
A flooded lead acid battery, such as an automotive battery.
When a battery is discharged the electrolyte solution is changing?
yes because there is an exchange between the positive and negative plates were the solution will be highly concentrated with negative irons
What are the continetal plates?
the plates surrounding the continents
If the electrolyte solution in a battery is too low you should add?
Distilled water ( to at least cover the top of the plates )
What does a wet cell car battery contain?
A car battery is a rechargeable, or secondary, wet cell battery that contains lead, lead oxide, plates and an electrolyte solution that contains a mixture of water and acid.
What are the continetals?
the plates surrounding the continents
What element is in battery?
An auto battery is basically a hard plastic case, with a series of thin lead plates making up an extensive gridwork inside of it, and filled with a water/sulfuric acid solution.
The battery is said to be 25 plates are negative?
13 is negative plates.
Does letting the battery go dead ruin the battery at all?
Yes... unless it is a high quality gel battery (and then, yes). The lead from the plates drops off. Without seed lead on the plates, recharging the battery does not reform the lead on the plates. Thus, every time one of the many plates in the battery is barren of lead, the battery will not fully charge that plate. If it happens frequently enough, all the plates will not accrue lead and thus will not hold a charge.
What are the plates under land areas called?
Land plates are called continental plates. Sea plates are called oceanic plates.
Can you just add an Epsom salt and distilled water solution to your car battery when cells are low and not drain battery of current acid completely?
Your car battery is a "lead-acid" battery. I'm not sure where you might haveheard about Epsom salt, but that's an easy and effective way to completelyruin the battery for good. If the battery is not sealed and you have accessto the cells, then when a cell gets low ... meaning the tops of the plates aresticking out above the surface of the liquid ... then you add distilled waterONLY to bring it up just over the top of the plates, and nothing else.
Why does positive battery post turn black?
Negative plates in the battery are naturally this dark color. A short between plates causes a discharge or equalization in potential which more or less is changing the positive plates and post to the color of the negative. The battery will become useless.
