You don't get more from a cell than it is designed for. If you want higher voltage, stack more cells. 2.1 volts is a high voltage for a single cell; I'm not certain this is correct (I believe typical is 1.2 - 1.5).

Difference between tubular battery and lead acid cell?
Well, tubular tells you that it's tube shaped, like a section of pipe. Batterytells you that it has more than one cell.Lead acid tells you that what chemistry it is - lead-acid - and cell tells you that there's only one section to it. Knowing the number of celss and the chemistry means that you can figure out which voltage it should have when fully charged etc.Now, to make things maybe a bit more complicated, you could use lead-acid cells to build a tubular battery.
What are indications that lead acid battery is fully charged?
There are two measures, cell voltage and specific gravity of the electrolyte. Cell voltage is the simplest to measure. For most automotive, flooded cell (having liquid electrolyte) batteries, 12.6 volts is considered full charge, although it is typical to have 13 volts or a bit over. The specific gravity of a fully charged battery, measured with a hydrometer, is 1.265.
Can the terminal voltage of a battery be zero?
No, Terminal voltage of a battery can't be zero. For example, if my mobile's battery is at low charge. It is showing only one point of charge on screen, but there will be no fluctuation on its screen, all the other features like audio, video, display will remain same unless it will become fully out of charge. Charge could be zero but the voltage can't be zero. Well, actually the terminal voltage of a battery can be zero, but only when the battery is totally dead and unable to take a charge (if it was a rechargeable type battery). At this point it must be disposed of. One exception is wet cell batteries (like lead acid), if the liquid electrolyte is removed the terminal voltage goes to zero but the battery is still good and can be restored to normal operation by refilling it with electrolyte. In fact wet cell batteries are often sold fully charged but with no electrolyte and their terminal voltage is thus zero on the store shelf until the salesman fills them with electrolyte.
Explain the construction and working of a dry cell?
a dry cell has many uses. it is basically a battery. a dry cell can be used in torches, clocks, watches, etc. this is the exact definition of a dry cell (from Science Focis 2) "A dry cell is not completely dry, but contains a chemical paste instead of a liquid. As in a wet cell, a chemical reaction generates charge that will flow when the cell is connected to a circuit"
How do you get a 240 volt ac light to work on a 12 volt dc batttery?
I found this light http://www.ecolivingcentre.com.au/products-page/?product_id=23 and it is the perfect size and power for a torch we are making in graphics, the only problem is that it runs on 240 volt ac current and the torch im going to make is going to have a 12 volt dc lead acid battery, is there any way that you can make the battery work with this light
Can a car take any kind of battery acid?
It is unusual to add battery acid to a car. Cars (not hybrids) normally use lead acid batteries and the acid is sulfuric acid, however you don't add sulfuric acid. When the fluid in a cell is low you add distilled water. Only the water has evaporated, the acid has not.
What are the uses for car battery acid?
battery acid is a mixture of sulphuric acid and Lead sulphate. Because of the high lead content battery acid should be used for nothing else but that. Lead is a commulative poison (is retained by the body so it builds up) and should be handled only in controlled applications.
What are the advantages of a lead acid battery compared to a Ni-Cd battery?
Lead acid batteries have beter storage capacity than Ni-Cd, the voltage per cell is normally rated at 1.5V where the Ni-Cad is only 1.2V and it is not so sensitive to its charging current, a transformer and rectifier is all that is needed to charge a lead acid battery vs. the Ni-Cd that need a more complicated charger.

Is a car battery a wet cell or dry cell?
A car battery is a wet cell. Only recently have dry cells been introduced, but your typical car battery is a wet lead storage battery.
What is car battery acid made of?
Automotive Battery AcidGenerally, with only few exceptions, automotive lead-acid batteries use Sulphuric Acid [chemical formula H2SO4] which contains Hydrogen [H], Sulphur [S], and Oxygen [O].
Can salt water be add into battery?
No, you shouldn't even put tap water into a lead acid battery. Most if not all lead acid batteries sold today are advertized as "maintenance-free", but if you do find that you need to add water, use only distilled water.
Can you replace the sulphuric acid in a lead acid battery with acetic acid or vinegar or any other natural organic acid?
If your battery is low on fluid add only distiller water. This would be an interesting question to find out, but DO NOT mess with batteries unless you fully understand what you are doing.
What liquid use in car battery?
Distilled water containing 29% to 32% sulfuric acid. only distilled water should be added to a lead acid battery. due to normal use, the battery will heat and cool, causing the water to naturally aspirate. that is why there are vents on the battery top. only the water evaporates from the battery, so there is no need to add any sulfuric acid. the acid is still there. adding acid will only cause the chemical balance in the battery to shift. this will either make the battery weaker, or most commonly complete make the battery unusable. you want to use distilled water because the impurities that shorten your batteries life are less prevalent, and that'ts the idea to extend you battery's life.
Can you store a lead acid battery on concrete?
The only harm to the battery would come from the temperature of the floor, it would be just like setting the battery on a block of ice. The concrete can not "drain" the battery because the battery case is made of plastic which is an electrical insulator.
Are lead acid batteries installed in cars in factories?
no lead acid batteries are not installed in factories only acid batteries are!!
What acid do batteries contain?
The major constituent of car battery acid is aqueous sulfuric acid. Ideally, it contains sufficient water to attain the maximum electrical conductivity for mixtures of H2SO4 and H2O, about 40 % water. Battery acid may also contain other substances, usually corrosion inhibitors of some kind.
