Rechargeable wet lead acid batteries use lead plates, lead oxide plate on positive electrode and an electrolyte solution of dilute sulphuric acid. They store energy in chemical form and it is converted to electricity. When a load is connected between the positive and negative terminals a chemical reaction causes electricity to flow through the load. Lead oxide changes to lead sulphate in the chemical reaction using sulphuric acid that releases electricity. Increasing amount of lead sulphate and reduced amount of sulphuric acid lead to dropping of current flow and this show the battery is discharged. By applying an external current to the terminals, this chemical reaction is reversed during a process known as charging.

5 advantages and 5 disadvantages of wet and dry cell batteries?
Alkaline batteries use a different electroyte, and last five to eight times as long as long as zinc carbon cells Wet cell batteries are rechargeable, but require a charger and can suffer from the memory effect. They also can contain harmful chemicals. Dry cell batteries are non-rechargeable but often last longer than one charged wet cell.
Is performance of dry cell battery is better over wet cell battery?
yes, it is much better!!!:) Performance is very subjective. For very high current useage, many wet cells perform better. Are modern gel automotive batteries considered to be dry?
What is the voltage of a dry and wet cell battery?
I am the one who question~ The more data: I mean,there is AAA type dry cell with 1.5V and AA type dry cell with 1.5V as well and square cell with 9V.So what's the realtionship between all these?Is there a realtionship I mean?I suppose there's...Thank you for answering my question:) Answer: For non rechargeable batteries, there is 1.5 volt per cell. So AA, AAA, D, C, etc. batteries have one 1.5 volt cell. The size of the cell is different in each, which allows larger current flow from that particular battery. None volt batteries are typically 6 of these cells stacked in series within a single battery. For cheap 9 volt batteries, there may be only 5, as the actual voltage is usually higher than 1.5 volts per cell (each cell voltage is intentionally made larger). wikipedia has a pretty good explanation - search for "nine-volt battery". Another way to glean more understanding is to simply take a few apart - make sure you wear some protective gloves and eyewear (some of these chemicals can be very corrosive). Hope this helps.
What is a PP3 battery clip and how does it work?
pp3 batteries are small rectangular boxes that has some enegy like batteries
A portable radio that runs on AA batteries needs 33 volts to work properly How many batteries does it use?
22 (1.5 volts each) AA batteries
Are limousine batteries dry cell or wet cell?
A limousine uses the same batteries as any automobile. They are all wet cell.
How are dry cell and wet cell batteries the same?
How Dry Cell Batteries and Wet Cell Batteries are the SameThey both convert energy "stored" in chemical compounds into electrical energy.
Term is used to indicate charged solutions contained in wet cell batteries?
Wet cell batteries contain liquids called electrolytes, such as sulfuric acid.. Dry cell batteries contain no liquid but are charged with alkaline or lithium.
Wet-cell batteries are typically used to supply electrical energy to?
autos lead acid batteries are wet cell
What is an example of wet cell battery?
Most automotive batteries are wet cell.
Are standard AA and AAA batteries wet cell batteries?
No, the classification of these types of batteries are considered dry cells.
Do both wet cells and dry cells work the same way?
No- different materials, different functions. Wet cell batteries are USUALLY storage batteries- they are recharged. Dry cell batteries are USUALLY supply batteries- a chemical reaction produces electrical power. When chemical are used up, the battery stops producing power, and cannot be recharged. The battery in most cars is a wet cell, batteries in most flashlights is a dry cell.
Why do cars us drycell batteries?
They don't. They use wet cell batteries.
What is the type of electrochemical cell found in automobile batteries?
wet cell
What is the voltage of a wet cell battery?
There is no standardized voltage for wet cell batteries, but 1.5 V is a common value.
