Batteries

Batteries are sources of chemical energy that are used in circuits to provide electrical energy for a wide range of useful devices. Any questions and answers regarding batteries or other power supplies would be welcome here.

A dry battery and a wet battery and ...?

To put simply a "dry" battery is one that does not have any electrolyte (acid)... as such a dry charged battery is one in which the plate/cells of the battery are fully charged but will need to add the acid at the end user side before the battery is activated.

The Wet battery, is one that comes from the factory/production side fully charged and ready to use (with the acid inside).

Wrong. Both wet and dry batteries contain an electrolyte, but in the dry battery the electrolyte is absorbed into a solid material forming a damp paste. The dry battery is not really dry, its actually damp. The important difference is that the liquid electrolyte in a wet battery can spill and the damp paste electrolyte in the dry battery can't.

Lead-acid batteries are commonly shipped and sold without the electrolyte as this simplifies shipment and extends shelf life in the store. But they are still wet batteries as they cannot function until the electrolyte is added. True dry batteries need nothing added to function.

What type of energy is produced with a battery wires and a bulb?

The battery produces electrical energy. If the light bulb is connected between the

terminals of the battery, then the bulb will change the electrical energy into heat,

and if you're lucky and you have the correct voltage, also maybe some light.

What advantage is there in arranging the batteries in series and in parallel?

A series connection of [five] cells gives you [five] times the voltage of a single cell.

A parallel connection of [five] cells gives you the same voltage, but [five] times the

battery life, of a single cell.

Do trouble codes in cars go away if battery goes dead?

I have been told by more than 1 mechanic, that a code will remain in the computer until it is specifically cleared. most cars will clear the check engine light from the dash after a number of times being started.

Some computers will clear with a battery disconnect, some won't.

What kind of jail time do you get in Nevada for battery domestic violence strangulation?

Are you sure you know what the proper charge is? From the question it sounds a lot more like 'Assault With Intent to Kill' rather than a simple Domestic Violence charge. It sounds like a felony charge which would signify, at the least, more than a year in prison.

2006 Chevy Suburban doesn't start on first crank?

There are a few issues that can cause a 2006 Chevy Suburban to not start on first crank. These can include a dead or drained battery, problems with the fuel system, or issues with the starter.

What is a gel battery?

Batteries contain something called electrolyte. In things like car batteries the electrolyte is often a liquid, which can be messy since liquids can leak. A gel battery is simply a battery using a gelled electrolyte.

What will happen when a wire is connected to the positive end of a fresh battery if there is nothing else in the circuit?

Nothing will happen. There has to be a complete a circuit for the battery to function thus allowing for the flow of electricity.

How do you change round face citizen watch battery?

take it to a jewelery store. majority of em will do it fo free

Why are there two wires connected to positive post in 2002 Saturn?

The heavier one feeds the starter. The smaller one feeds the accessories.

What is Nickel-metal hydride?

Nickel-metal hydride batteries are a type of rechargeable battery with an electrochemistry similar to nickel cadmium batteries, but the eliminate the toxic cadmium metal.

The older nickel cadmium battery uses nickel oxide hydroxide and metallic cadmium as electrodes, while the newer nickel-metal hydride battery keeps the nickel oxide hydroxide electrode it uses a complex alloy that readily absorbs hydrogen atoms forming a metal hydride, it is the absorbed hydrogen within this hydride that actually functions as the active electrode in the battery. In addition to eliminating the toxic cadmium (making recycling or disposal easier and cheaper) this change also provides other advantages: higher battery capacity, no memory effect, etc.

Some of the different alloys used in the metal hydride electrode are:

  • titanium nickel
  • lanthanum neodymium nickel cobalt silicon
  • cerium lanthanum neodymium praseodymium nickel cobalt silicon

How can you fix a psp battery?

"you open the batterie slot and put the new batterie in" that's a simple answer that is very apparent to every1, I've fixed 2/3 of my batteries with my method, lol lucky i guess, but anyways i peeled case off and took a butter knife against the metal part connected to circuit board and battery, ran it across, few little sparks, little smoke blows at u = P, lol but anyways, it sumhow worked ^_^ "i dought it'll start a fire"

How do you put in rim clicks rim shots cross sticks stick clicks etc in sibelius 6 for marching battery sounds on windows?

go to window, properties, and the properties window should open up. open up to "notes" tab there. now click on the note you want to be a rim click, and select the notation you want...

To get a rimshot on a drum set or five line percussion staff (at least in Sibelius 5.4), one needs to enter a note where the snare drum would be (C5 with note head type 0), but with an x note head (C5 with note head type 1). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rimshot

Does salt water ruin batteries?

I'm not sure about salt water but i got loads of water in my electric toothbrush once and it was soaked but it still worked

What are the materials you need to make a battery tester?

You can make two types of battery testers.

The easy one is with a light-bulb.

You need: 2 wires, a light bulb, a fuse, and a battery to test.

If you attach the positive terminal of the bulb to the cathode of the battery, and the negative terminal of the bulb to a fuse and then the fuse to the anode of the battery, you may judge the battery's capacity based on the brightness of the bulb.

(Note: If it does not work, replace the fuse or try without a fuse, the fuse is in case the bulb explodes, which rarely happens. Otherwise, you have a dead battery.)

The hard way is the compass way.

You need: a long wire, a compass, and a battery to test.

Wrap the wire around the compass but leave the two ends open. Connect the two ends to the anode and cathode of your battery. Judge the battery capacity based on the speed of the spinning needle in the compass.

(Note: if it doesn't work, wrap more wire around the battery compass, use a stronger wire, otherwise the battery is dead.)

I, who improved it, am the same person who wrote the answer, I just realized that I wrote battery instead of compassafter I published my answer, so I improved it after I finished.
