In most batteries, the negative terminal is made out of zinc and the positive terminal is made out of carbon.

this may vary depending upon the type of battery and the amount of power it supplies.

How do you ground in dc circuits I have seen many circuits around the net with plus ve terminal from the battery and no ve terminal to the battery and ground symbols what to do in these circumstances?

In many cases, a ground symbol is used to save drawing extra lines in a diagram and/or to show that a metal cabinet is used as a return path to save wiring in the ground side.


Which non- ferrous metal is used for battery container?

Aluminum is commonly used for battery containers due to its lightweight and corrosion resistance properties. It is also easily recyclable, making it a sustainable choice for battery manufacturing.


How do you connect two deep cycle 12-volt batteries in parallel to an RV?

Assuming neither battery is used to start the engine, simply connect the positive (+) terminal of the first battery to the positive terminal of the second battery. Then connect the negative (-) terminal of the first battery to the negative terminal of the second battery. Connect the load circuit to the positive and negative terminals of one of the batteries as usual. You may want to charge the batteries separately before making the connection, since connecting a charged battery to a discharged battery will result in a very large current flowing from the charged battery to the discharged battery, possibly damaging the wiring or either battery.


Can aluminum be used on a car battery terminal as a temporary fix?

What color is the negative terminal?

To my knowledge, battery terminals themselves are not colored, OTHER THAN the color of the metal of which they are made. Occasionally, some terminals are plated with something like coppor or brass to reduce the occurance of corrosion, and then the color of the terminal would be the color of the plating matal. Generally, the battery wires, and sometimes the terminal CLAMPS, are color coded. Usually, RED is used to indicate a Positive conductor, and BLACK is used to indicate the NEGATIVE conductor.
