Why is water used in a car battery?
Because car batteries have metal plates in them to conduct the energy of the battery and the water helps allowing the electricity to flow in the battery when the vehicle is running. After the water has been in contact with the conduit in which the electricity flows (the conduits are acid filled) the water becomes acidic as well and so caution must be used when filling the battery and when removing or carrying it. Also, as a side note, if there is no water in the battery there is an increase in heat and a deterioration of battery plates. This restricts the battery from charging and destroys the battery plates. In contrast, if there is too much water, it can cause the battery to overflow during operation of the vehicle and start corrosion on metal parts around the battery.
Is the car battery used after starting?
The battery is used to start the car, and then the alternator takes over to keep the supply of power and to recharge the battery.
