How many cells does a 6 volt battery have?

It depends on what the 6 cells are, but the battery voltage is just 6 times the cell voltage. In a car battery (lead-acid cells) - 12V In a dry-battery (zinc-carbon cells) - 9V


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 causes a car battery cells to be dry?

Usually, overcharge, sometimes overdischarge. Check the alternator - the regulator is probably shorted.


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 does 'shelf-life' mean in relationship to dry cell batteries?

What best describes a direct current?

The current produced by batteries is direct current. Electronic devices need direct current; in this case, they need a power supply (often built into the electronic device itself), that converts the alternating current, from the electric outlet, to direct current.

What to do if your car battery is dry?

Add distilled water to the battery cells. Get the water just so each cell in underwater. And then find out why it is dry. Could be the voltage regulator is defective and the battery is being overcharged.
