What kind of batteries do you need for my life game console?
you need 3 x AAA batteries. Also it's better to use alkaline batteries not rechargeable batteries.
What is the proper way to disposed of Alkaline batteries?
They should be dropped in a battery recycling bin. Such bins often exist in or near electronics stores. Make sure they accept alkaline batteries. Some only accept rechargeable batteries. Using rechargeable batteries can save you money and greatly reduce the number of batteries you need to dispose of.
Can alkaline batteries be charged in the freezer?
NO, putting batteries in the freezer will not charge them. For alkaline batteries (the most common kind of household battery), putting them in the freezer will extend their shelf life by less than 5%. And cold batteries can't be used immediately -- you have to wait until they've warmed up to room temperature first. If you need those batteries for a flashlight in an emergency, this could prove problematic. When stored at room temperature, alkaline batteries retain 90% of their power, and the average shelf life of alkaline batteries is five to seven years. For NiMH and Nicad batteries (often used for electronics), storing them in the freezer might be more practical. These kinds of batteries lose their charge after a few days when kept at room temperature. But they'll retain a 90% charge for months if you store them in the freezer. Just like alkaline batteries, you'll need to wait until they've warmed up before using them. However, this isn't a problem when you need new batteries for your digital camera or other electronic gadget. Battery manufacturers tend to agree. Kodak says "refrigeration is not necessary, nor is it recommended" and "freezing is not recommended" for its alkaline batteries. Duracell advises: "Do not refrigerate Duracell batteries. This will not make them last longer." Both recommend storing batteries in a cool, dry place.
If a circuit has two AA alkaline batteries how many joules of energy does each coulomb of charge?
You need to multiply the number of coulombs by the number of volts. If the two batteries are in series, then you can add the voltage of both batteries.
How much can I save if I buy rechargeable batteries instead of alkaline batteries?
If you use a lot of batteries, the long term benefit could be very good. If not, you need to weigh the cost because rechargeable batteries are very expensive and can take a while to recoup your investment.
Where to find best deals on batteries?
Batteries are containers consisting of one or more cells carrying an electric charge and used as a source of power, they differ from alkaline batteries by them being able to be recharged so you don't need to keep buying and buying new batteries.
What is the difference between cells and batteries in a dry form and in a wet form?
Wet batteries have acid (or alkaline in Ni-Cad) in them that may boil away and need maintenance, topping up with distilled water. Dry batteries are sealed and can be used at any angle, without spillage.
If I lose one of the AAA batteries that came with my rechargable battery set, is it okay to mix the rechargable battery with a standard AAA battery?
You can use them together,but you can not ever,ever put an alkaline battery in a charger.So you have to remember it's an alkaline when you need to recharge.
What is the alkaline battery used for?
alkaline is used to neutralize acids! like if you get indegestion. If you were to use gaviscon it would have alkaline to stop it from burning/hurting your insides. Alkalis can be very dangerous depending on what part of the pH scale its on its also used in cleaners like bleaches, baking soda,household cleaners.......so basically its use to clean and neutralize
How many watt hours in AA battery?
This question doesn't have a simple answer. It depends on the battery chemistry and construction. Somewhere in the battery's specification is the amp-hour rating. For AA size batteries, it is common to use milliampere-hour ratings (mAH). You need to multiply the mAH rating by 1.5 if you're figuring alkaline batteries, or 1.2 if you're figuring rechargeable batteries. Then divide the result by 1000 to get watt hours. Nicad cells are typically rated 500 to 1000 mAH. NiMh batteries typically have twice the rating of similarly sized nicad batteries. Alkaline batteries are typically rated at 2500-3000 mAH
Need to buy a tester for alkaline batteries. Which models should I look at?
The two websites I have listed here have well over 20 different battery testers to choose from. www.mechanicstoolswarehouse.com - www.testers.pircesseekers.com
Does keeping batteries in the freezer work?
We searched on "batteries freezer" and also looked at several battery manufacturer's web sites to find the answer to this question. The search results led to a very detailed frequently asked questions (FAQ) page about AA and AAA cell batteries, as well as its related battery myths page that provided a plethora of information about batteries. According to these sources, storing batteries in the freezer (or refrigerator) will make them last longer, but it depends on what kind of battery you're using. And in the long run, it may not be worth the hassle. For alkaline batteries (the most common kind of household battery), putting them in the freezer will extend their shelf life by less than 5%. And cold batteries can't be used immediately -- you have to wait until they've warmed up to room temperature first. If you need those batteries for a flashlight in an emergency, this could prove problematic.
