When you connect the battery charger to the batterythe charger first sees voltage from the battery. How then is charged reversed to enter the battery?

well, most battery chargers can discern the anode and the cathode, when first charge the battery, the convertor of the charger transform the alternating current (AC) into Direct current(DC), that means the charger "sees" the voltage of the battery, in fact, most charger can transform the AC to one/some fixed DC Voltages. and if you reverse to enter the battery, it doesn't matter, the battery can be normally charged, this case was considered when designing the charger, don' t be worry.


Alternating current is produced by battery or generators?

A generator produces alternating current.


Can only direct current be used for charging batterys?

No, alternating current (AC) can also be used to charge batteries using a charger that converts AC to DC. The charger will convert the AC power from the outlet to DC power that is suitable for charging the battery.


Does a battery deliver a direct or alternating current?

A battery delivers a source of direct current.


Current from a battery is always?

Direct current, as opposed to alternating current.


What is the energy transformations of a battery charger?

A battery charger primarily transforms electrical energy from an external power source into chemical energy stored within the battery. During the charging process, the charger converts alternating current (AC) from the power source into direct current (DC) suitable for the battery. This DC energy then facilitates the movement of ions within the battery, resulting in the conversion of electrical energy into chemical energy, which can later be released when the battery is used to power devices.


What type of electrical current does a notebook require and what device provides this current?

A notebook computer generally requires direct current. This current comes from a battery or a power supply. A battery converts chemicals into electricity, while a power supply or battery charger converts somewhat high voltage alternating current into lower voltage direct current.


What happens to a 6 volt battery with a 12 volt charge?

A: Now that depends on how good the 12v charger is. If it can pump a lot of current out of it that will destroy the battery by heating it, If the charger is current limited then the battery will be safe and so will be the charger. If the charger has no current limiting then the charger will heat up and destroy itself. The whole thing comes up to be a power question who is more powerful battery or charger


Will a battery provide direct current or alternating currrent?

A battery provides direct current (DC).


Why DC is used in battery's?

dc in battery stands for direct current .ac is alternating current.


Will a battery supply direct current or alternating current or ac?

direct current.


Is a battery charger a rectifier?

Inside a 12 volt battery charger, one of the main components is a transformer used to lower the supply voltage to 14 VAC. The other main component is the diode bridge. It is a full wave bridge network which uses four diodes for voltage rectification. The open circuit output of the battery charger is about 13.8 VDC. So, no a battery charger is not a rectifier but it used the process of rectification in its operation.
