A potato battery is an electrochemical battery, otherwise known as an electrochemical cell. An electrochemical cell is a cell in which chemical energy is converted to electric energy by a spontaneous electron transfer. In the case of the potato, the zinc in the nail reacts with the copper wire. The potato acts as a sort of buffer between the zinc ions and the copper ions. The zinc and copper ions would still react if they touched within the potato but they would only generate heat. Since the potato keeps them apart, the electron transfer has to take place over the copper wires of the circuit, which channels the energy into the clock. Presto! You have potato power.

Can you charge a battery while still fitted to a car?
yes..... Simply disconnect the positive and negative cables from the battery,then clean the posts on the battery and the inside of each terminal with a post cleaner (inexpensive tool found at parts stores)or a wire brush until both posts and both terminals shine like new. Then just connect the battery charger directly to the battery posts red goes to positve(+) black goes to negative(-). Once the charger is finished charging the battery then turn off the charger and remove the connectors..then put the battery cables back on the battery and try starting the car...
