6
A flooded lead acid battery, such as an automotive battery.
It depends on what the 6 cells are, but the battery voltage is just 6 times the cell voltage. In a car battery (lead-acid cells) - 12V In a dry-battery (zinc-carbon cells) - 9V
Lead acid
Cells in a normal car 12v battery are composed of lead and sulfuric acid.
AnswerAccording to WikiPedia (http:/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rechargeable_battery), the nominal cell voltage of a Lead Acid wet-cell battery is 2.1 volts, this implies there are 6 cells in a 12 volt Lead Acid wet-cell battery.
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.
No. Strictly speaking you get a battery when you have several cells together. The typical car battery consists of 6 lead-acid cells connected in series.

There is no difference between lead acid accumulator and lead acid battery.
It really depends on how the battery is damaged. Generally, you cannot use a damaged battery for the following reason: Batteries contain lead and liquid acid. If the battery case is damaged, acid will spill from the affected cells of the battery and those cells will not function. Since the cells of a lead acid battery are connected in series, failure of any one cell means failure of the entire battery. If the damage is limited to the battery posts, the battery can sometimes be made to work by various means of tightening the cable clamps to the posts. This is a temporary fix that can be used in a pinch and it should be repaired properly as soon as possible.
If it is bubbling excessivly accross all cells then the alternator could be overcharging. if it is odd cells bubbling then the battery may be faulty
No. Lead Acid batteries should be kept at full charge for best battery life. Constant partial charging is best.
