Can you store electric power?

Yes, a battery is an electrical storage device.


What is storage capacitors?

A capacitor is a segment which has a property to store electrical charge. It comprises of two electrical conduits isolated by a di-electric.It stores vitality as electrostatic field. They are generally utilized as a part of Electrical & Electronic Components.


How long should you charge your 12 volt auto battery 35 amps 13.5 volts DC?

I think you mean 35Ah (Ampere-hours) This depends on the amount of energy that can be stored. The amount of energy in car batteries is usually expressed in Ah, and depends on the voltage of the battery. In Europe, mostly 12V, 40Ah to 70Ah. Let's say a battery of 35Ah 12V (in reality, a fully charged lead-acid battery will have 12,65V over its open poles) needs to be fully charged. 35Ah means tha it can, theoretically, deliver 35A at 12V during 1 hour. That's is a total power storage of 12x35 = 420Wh = 1512kJ (kiloJoules) The amount of current flowing into the battery will charge (by an electrochemical process) the battery. So it's not really the voltage of the battery, but the current that's important. Unless you know the internal resistance of the battery, You can not really calculate this. But now practical. You can charge a car battery at a pretty high current, although quality deteriorates with higher currents (that's why professional chargers will use a pulse charger) , so your 13,5V will not be too high. Car generators can deliver up to 16Volts to a battery. What I suggest is this: measure the battery voltage, load the battery with the 13,5V, and measure again after 10 minutes. Check the voltage of the battery, and do not exceed 12,5V. Even better: Load the battery, and meanwhile measure the current and voltage. Now you can calculate the internal resistance of the battery. A word of caution. Car batteries contain a highly poisonous fluid, a mix of water an sulfuric acid. Don't play around with it, DON'T SHORT IT, don't reverse polarisation, This fluid causes severe burns. Be careful.

The Storage battery of a car has an emf of 12 volt if the internal resistance of the battery is 0.4 resistance what is the maximum current that can be drawn from the battery?

You have to imagine the internal resistance as being in parallel with any load you connect. You get the maximum possible current when the load is zero. In this case, just apply Ohm's Law. That is, divide the voltage by the internal resistance.
