How are batteries connected together to obtain more current capacity?
A way of connecting batteries together to provide more current is to connect them in parallel. This allows more capacity at the same voltage. If the batteries were connected in series the voltage would be increased.
Explain why a 24v system that runs off of 4 batteries which includes a 12v feed- that's powered by two of the batteries are getting no charge from the alternator.. the other two are charged well.?
With the batteries in series, the alternator provides the same current, and therefore the same charge to all the batteries. The alternator can take no account of any current being drawn from the 12V take off point. Part of the charge current is being fed to the 12V load and not to the batteries. Therefore, the 12-24V batteries are being fully charged while the 0-12V batteries are being partially charged. Over a period of time, the difference between the charge levels will become more obvious.
What is the most common way to store electrical energy?
With batteries. For more information see the answer to the Related Question shown below.
Can you make electricity by rubbing two batteries?
There is a way of getting a but more power out of almost dead battery's and that is by rubbing them the friction warms them up and gets a bit more out of them. you can do this with 1 battery as well.
Is there anyway to build a blue laser driver circuit WITHOUT using a LM317 Chip?
No. you need that regulator to accuratly measure the current or you will destroy the laser diode . Blue laser Diodes will Blow on regular 3 volt batteries because a regular battery (aaa) supplies way more current to the diodes than it needs thus burning it out .Most AA batteries can produce 1 amp or more . (Poof)
What is inside of expensive batteries last longer than cheaper batteries?
the most common non rechargeable battery is alkaline batteries. the more expensive batteries contain more lithium. the lithium batteries last a lot longer. you can also buy heavy duty batteries. although it sounds like they should last longer..they don't. heavy duty batteries are actually a step down from alkaline.
Does alkaline batteries have more power or does lithium batteries have more power?
lithium batteries have a faster current discharge rate then alkaline batteries but they cost more. The LIPO battery is used the most in RC planes.
Where can one purchase a 9v power supply?
9V batteries are a type of alkaline battery. The alternative is a lithium battery. Alkaline batteries use zinc as an anode whereas lithium batteries use lithium. Lithium batteries produce higher voltage and have a longer lifespan, thus they are more expensive.
Comparing Lithium Batteries To Alkaline Batteries?
Lithium batteries use some type of lithium in their construction and are different from more traditional alkaline batteries. One of the key features of lithium batteries is the increase in the amount of electricity that is produced from a certain size of battery when compared to alkaline batteries. This feature also has a drawback, however, since a lithium battery can have a very harmful reaction when short circuited inside of a device. This can actually cause the battery to discharge electricity and heat very quickly, potentially igniting the battery itself.
What's better lithium batteries or the NiMh batteries?
The NiMH battery is better,but it's more expensive.
Can you use lithium batteries instead of alkaline batteries?
Careful Answer: SOMETIMES. But ALWAYS check the label of the lithium battery in question to make sure it is rated for "1.5v" before attempting to use it as a replacement for an alkaline battery. Explanation: Alkaline primary batteries have a nominal voltage of 1.5v per cell. Lithium primary ("primary"=disposable) batteries USUALLY have a nominal voltage of "3v" per cell. There are some Lithium primary cells, AA's for example, that have a nominal voltage of 1.5v per cell which makes them a suitable replacement for alkaline batteries. To complicate matters, however, there are rechargeable lithium-ion cells in the AA format which have a nominal voltage of 3.6v per cell, and more commonly there are "Lithium Phosphate" AA's which have a nominal voltage of 3.2v or 3.3v per cell. Using either of these as a replacement for alkaline batteries would be potentially destructive for both the batteries and the device you install them in.
How does the type of battery affect how long it will last?
This is not necessarily true. Usually the brand of battery is not as important as the technology used. An alkaline battery should last longer than a regular carbon battery, no matter what the brand.
What are the differences between LiLon and NiMH digial camera batteries?
Lithium Ion (LiON) batteries are lighter than NiMH batteries and also have no memory effect. They are more expensive, but worth every penny.
Which battery generates more power?
Below is a link of a diagram of battery capacities I found on Wikipedia. If you need batteries for a project I would get NIMH as lithium are very sensitive to overcharging. If you are using non rechargeable batteries, they are difficult to replace so I would get a lithium one, though they are expensive. If you can easily replace them, use alkaline. You can get cheap common sizes of both rechargeable and non rechargeable batteries from another link I added below.
Where can I get video camera batteries?
Several battery types are good for use in video cameras. Most people just use alkaline batteries, but others prefer more specialized types. Some people like rechargeable batteries because they save money, while other use alkaline specifically enhanced for cameras and other technological gadgets (Eg. Energizer Lithium).
What kind of batteries are there today?
For cameras there are mainly the AA batteries or the lithium ion battery pack that is rechargeable. The AA batteries are rechargeable as well, but the lithium ion are just more convenient.
What rechargeable batteries are best?
Lithium rechargable batteries are excellent but be prepared to spend a bit more on them.
