What causes a car battery to not work?
Answer 1:
A short in your electrical system could be causing the battery to drain.
A bad cell in you battery could also be the cause. Go to your local parts store and see if they "load test" batteries. This will let you know if the battery is any good.
Answer 2:
A typical car battery is made out of Lead, Lead Oxide and an acidic solution of water and sulphuric acid.
When the battery is used, discharging and recharging, there will be particles formed that due to gravity will drop down and form an increasing layer of conducting material at the bottom.
With use, the cells will eventually shortcut due to this layer building up and "touching" the plates of lead/lead oxide.
Is 12 volt battery same as 23a battery?
If the "A" in 23A refers to ampere (in which case it would be written in uppercase), then no; voltage and current (the number of amperes) are unrelated to one another.If 23a is the model number of the battery, you would just have to check the specifications of the battery (it should normally have a metal plate with the specifications on it), to check whether the voltage is 12 volt. Car batteries usually have a voltage of 12 volts.
What are car batteries made out of?
The plates are made of lead, distilled water, and sulfuric acid. The Separators are made of rubber, glass fiber, cellulose, or polyvinyl chloride. The case is made of plastic polypropylene.
its most likely a bad ground. check that both cables going to your battery are snug and corrosion free, also check motor ground. If you have subs and amp with your stereo it could have been drawing more power than your alternator could produce. or alternator or battery could be on its way to going bad. also check the flux capacitor
How can overcharging of a battery be prevented?
In a car, motorcycle, truck, etc., prevention of overcharging is the job of the voltage regulator part of the vehicle's battery charging system.
If a simple, unregulated, battery charger accessory is used to recharge a battery, it must be disconnected as soon as charging is complete otherwise the battery will start "gassing" - giving off acid fumes along with hydrogen and oxygen gases, which is a very dangerous situation. If allowed to continue the battery would be damaged permanently and there could be a dangerous explosion.
Intelligent battery chargers, which detect when the battery is fully charged, are much safer to use because they shut off the power automatically.
Why does car click and positive battery terminal smokes?
Corrosion or a very loose connection at the positive terminal.
How do batteries to produce hydrogen gas?
similar to separating the oxygen and hydrogen in water. When the battery fully charged it is made up of 64% water and 36% sulfuric acid and when the battery is in "charging" state by the alternator or charging source the electricity basically separates the water molecules (hydrogen from oxygen) giving of the hydrogen as bubbles.....sKD
Who makes interstate golf cart batteries?
Interstate batteries are made by a company named "Interstate Batteries," which may be a bit of an anticlimax, but it's true. They're headquartered in Dallas, Texas.

Why would a battery die when it is brand new and there was nothing wrong the it the night before?
A battery does not CREATE electrical energy, it only stores it. The alternator in your vehicle produces electricity which is used or everything from the radio to charging the battery. If the alternator or regulator fail or if there is a bad electrical connection anywhere, the vehicle may not start next time you get in. If the alternator has failed to charge the battery, there may be nothing actually wrong with the battery except that it has no electrical energy left with which to start your vehicle next time. IF that is the case, all the battery needs is to be charged and it will be able to start your car next time. On the other hand, sometimes batteries get old and just like anything else that gets old they can fail. A 12 volt battery, typical of almost every vehicle on the road today, contains 6 individual cells each capable of producing 2 volts. When cells fail the voltage can be reduced, or the battery can fail completely. So if your car doesn't start it may be a failed battery or it may be a failed charging system or a bad connector. It really isn't possible to give a difinitive answer to your question without being able to test a couple components.
hook 2 batteries pos to neg and 2 more pos to neg, now you have 2 at 24v and hook the 2 pair pos to neg
Does pure water conduct any electricity at all?
No, pure water does not conduct electricity because there are no other solutions present. For the water to conduct electricity, there has to be an electrolyte. Salt water, Tap water, and sugar water do conduct a little electricity because they contain soluble ionic compounds.
The only way that this can happen is if your alternator is "grounding out". Your alternator is seriously letting some juice through it. Replace it. This could ignite under hood fire. Way too much voltage is going through it for some reason. This is all I can think of without looking at it. Hope this helps. Sorry I told you the wrong term. Its not grounding out it is just letting too much voltage through. Another possibility is that the wires are switched somehow, but you would have other serious problem that could result in frying the electrical system. Make sure batter cables and the alternator connections are connected correctly.
Is charging of car battery chemical change?
Yes. The charging causes a chemical change in the electrolyte of the battery.
Can you put 2 batteries in 1992 dodge cummins?
It can be done, yes. You just have to make sure you wire them in parallel.
Where is the battery located for an AK-47 air soft gun?
There are two places where airsoft gun AK-47 model stores its battery/ies. If they have fix stock, battery/ies can be stored within the stock. If they have folding stock or sliding stock (like AK SOPMOD) the battery/ies can be stored in the upper receiver or stored outside the AEGs within a dummy AN-PEQ (if the model have a Picatinny rail/MIL-STD-1913 rail on it).
Why won't your car keep idling once the jumper cables are removed?
It may be the battery, the alternator, the cables between them or any combination of these. Now of course the battery is dead, or you wouldn't need a jump in the first place. But once jumped, an engine should run off of the alternator alone. When it won't, the causes are either a bad alternator, a bad connection, or a short in the battery. You will need to have each of these tested; but the culprit is usually the alternator in this sort of instance. The battery may be ok once re-charged, but more likely it has been run-down so badly that it will never recover fully.
But before you replace the alternator and battery, be sure to have the connections tested. It's a long shot, but it could be as simple as a dirty or loose terminal connection.
What is a PP3 battery equivalent?
PP3 batteries are also known as nine volt batteries. So, yes this would be an equivalent. However, you can probably choose to buy a rechargeable battery or not. If you would a rechargeable battery, make sure to search different stores and look for this label.
Explain how potential difference in a battery is similar to a staircase?
The potential difference in a battery is like the height of the stairs. The amount of charge separated in a battery is like the mass moved up the stairs. The potential energy in the battery is due to both the potential difference (volts) and the amount of charge that has been separated (coulombs).
How do you charge a low car battery in an emergency?
It depends. If the battery is low but not totally flat, connecting another car's batttery for a few minutes and then strarting ("jump starting") is better than jump starting from zero, because the low battery car alternator will tend to put a large current and this will overheat it and could shorten its life; therefore it is only recommended in an emergency.
A completely discharged car battery will begin to undergo sulphation soon, so it should be taken to a battry shop or recharged immediately with an advanced regulated charger (some of the newer ones even have some advanced charging algorithms that can revert some degree of sulphation).
Now, if it is truly an emergency, you can put the battery under heavy recharge current after a couple of minutes of lesser current, but this will shorten its life.
How many cells can a 6 cell car battery run on before it no longer works?
A car battery needs all 6 cells to work.
The hardest job a car battery has to do, is crank the engine over during starting. This draws hundreds of amps (depending on engine size).
If even one cell is down, the internal resistance will severely restrict the amperage delivered and the motor won't turn.
Surely a battery with a dead cell can appear to be live. The lights and radio may work, but dimly. How long this will continue, will depend on how many ancillaries are switched on and the original charge and capacity of the battery.
A battery that cannot start the car is next to useless.
How do you change the battery of a catch-a-beast?
Turn device over so that the belt clip is facing you and the winder is now on the left.
You will notice a recessed button to the centre and right of the belt clip. Depress this button firmly with an thin instrument (I used a jeweler's screwdriver but a ballpoint pen should suffice) while pulling/pushing belt clip to the left over top of winding handle.
The recess for the two AAA batteries can be accessed. Replacement procedure of belt clip cover is reverse of its removal.
How do you change the computer battery settings?
Go to 'Control Panel" then to Power options. It is in there.
