The voltage between the two electrodes of the battery depends on the redox reactions going on at the electrodes. The overall reactions stay the same, so the electromotive force stays about the same too. The electromotive force is however dependent on the concentration of the reactants the electrolyte, and the voltage at the outside of the battery depends on the internal resistance of the battery as well, which can be much higher when the battery is used.

A battery is energy stored in a chemical way. When "converted" into electricity, the chemical looses power, either going from a base of very low PH to neutral or from a base of very high PH to neutral.

A fresh battery gives out a "high" voltage and slowly as it is discharges, the electrolyte inside will reach a PH of 7 (neutral) and voltage drops accordingly.

The voltage can not drop below zero, as the electrolyte has lost all its power when it reaches a PH of 7.

Chemical reactions work only one way, reaching PH Neutral as its ultimate goal, where as in AC one have mechanical movement of wire in a magnetic field.

No movement, no electricity. When the wire moves in a magnetic field it produces electricity, but only as long as the magnetic field constantly changes from North to South and back to North again. It is this that creates AC or alternating current, hence the Alternating magnetic poles.

No. A battery is considered to be DC power.


Battery ac or DC?

Batteries can provide both AC (alternating current) or DC (direct current) power, depending on the type of device they are connected to. However, most batteries themselves supply DC power. Devices that require AC power typically use an inverter to convert the battery's DC power into AC power.


How can a 110 amp battery and 24v alternator give power to a home?

It can't. You home runs on 120 volts AC not DC power from a battery.


Are TV's in buses AC or DC input?

Televisions in buses can be either AC or DC current. It depends on whether the bus is using a DC to AC power convertor or an AC generator or DC power from the battery.


Will a 120 volt AC to 12 volt AC adapter charge a 12 volt car battery?

No, the battery is DC not AC.


Do laptop work on ac or DC and how?

A laptop runs on DC. Either from the battery, or the external power supply, which converts AC power to DC.


What does AC-DC conversion and battery charging mean?

The voltage in your house is AC. It is in the form of a sine wave that goes positive and negative 60 times a second. To charge a battery you need DC so you do an AC to DC conversion and then apply the DC to the battery charging circuit that applies the correct charging current to the battery and checks on the state of the charge.


Can you run 0.5hp ac water pump with car battery?

No, the pump runs on AC current the battery supplies DC current. Yes, but you will need an inverter to turn the DC current into AC current
