electrolyte
When electrodes are placed in an electrolyte and a voltage is applied, the electrolyte will conduct electricity.
In batteries, two metals with different electron affinities are used as electrodes; electrons flow from one electrode to the other outside of the battery, while inside the battery the circuit is closed by the electrolyte's ions. Here the electrode reactions convert chemical energy to electrical energy.

What type of batteries do ipods take?
they use rechargable batteries
Do computer batteries have to be completely discharged before charging?
It's always preferable to charge from completely flat. However - modern Li-ion batteries don't suffer from 'memory effect' like the old Ni-Cad batteries did.
What are Duracell and Eveready brand names of?
batteries
What does it mean to precondition batteries?
By fully charging and fully discharging some batteries the expected charge time can be increased. Some rechargable batteries will last longer per charge if they are fully discharged before you recharge them again. Recharging batteries before they are fully discharged may cause a battery memory effect that will allow the battery to run for a shorter period between recharges.
What are the big batteries called?
I believe D is the largest of regular round batteries. I've included a related link which shows the various sizes past and present.
Is batteries a solid liquid or gas?
Is a battery solid liquid or gas
Does dry cell batteries have a liquid inside of it?
NO
What are secondary batteries?
Secondary batteries is the engineering name for batteries that can be recharged.
If Liquid-crystal display will disappear slowly?
Check the batteries.
What is the liquid inside of a battery?
car batteries use sulphuric acid
What is the liquid substance that comes out of old and dead batteries?
The liquid in all wet cell batteries is called Electrolyte. It is a mixture of 65% distilled water and 35% Sulfuric acid. It is very corrosive to anything it contacts.
Is is liquid from car batteries acidic?
Yes. It is a solution containing sulfuric acid .
What gas is leaked from sealed lead acid batteries?
Hydrogen is discharged during the charging process of lead acid batteries, sealed batteries are a misnomer, they are only sealed against liquid leakage.
Is plain water good for liquid batteries?
no only distilled water should be used.
Why don't batteries work in space?
Some batteries [dry cells and gell cells, if properly sealed] do work in space. On the other hand, unsealed batteries containing liquid electrolyte [like the battery acid in automobile batteries], when exposed to the zero [or near zero] atmospheric pressure in space, lose the liquid electrolyte by almost immediate evaporation. And without the electrolyte a battery cannot function.
What does anyone know about the batteries in electronic cigarettes?
The batteries are what make the electronic cigarette work.
Does water go in car batteries?
Automotive batteries generally have a liquid electrolyte in them. The electrolyte is usually a solution of sulfuric acid and water. Occasionally, under adverse conditions some of the water will evaporate. Some auto batteries have caps, plugs, or covers on the top of the battery allowing you to add water if the liquid level drops. However some [if not most today] auto batteries [sometimes called "Maintence Free"] do not have any way to access the cells to add water. There is also a new "dry cell" type of battery that does not have liquid in it.
