Normally two. A positive and a negative.

On specialist battery packs (like for a laptop or phone) you may find more terminals. These are used for temperature and current monitoring, for charging purposes.

What happens when you connect batteries in parallel?

When you connect batteries in parallel, the positive terminals are connected together and the negative terminals are connected together. This increases the total capacity of the batteries, allowing them to provide more power for a longer period of time.


Why do batteries always have two terminals labeled?

Batteries have two terminals labeled because they need both a positive and a negative connection to create an electrical circuit and allow the flow of electricity.


What function is performed by battery terminals?

The function of battery terminals is to connect a load or charger to a cell battery. Battery terminals are necessary and common in a lot of batteries.


How much terminals do batteries have?

Do alkaline batteries have to be taped for shipment?

Yes, it's not because of the material inside the battery, but to prevent the terminals from touching other batteries. If battery terminals touch they can create heat which, in turn, can cause a fire. So to prevent a fire, you should tape all battery terminals when shipping for recycling.


How does placing batteries in parallel boost the total voltage?

Placing batteries in parallel increases the total voltage because the positive terminals are connected together and the negative terminals are connected together, which allows the voltage of each battery to add up.


Is electric shock from batteries possible?

With enough batteries to get sufficient voltage - sure. Put your tounge to the terminals of a 9 V battery and you'll see.

What happens if two lots of 12dc volts are applied?

It depends how they are connected. If the terminals of two 12 volt batteries batteries are connected to the same circuit (in parallel) then there is no change in the flow of current- it will just last for twice as long a time. But if two opposing terminals of the batteries are connected to each other first and the free terminals then connected to the circuit (in series) then there would be a total voltage of 24 volts and twice as much current would flow. The two batteries would last for the same length of time as one battery on its own.
