Discharge and Charging of Lead-Acid Battery
In a lead-acid battery, two types of lead are acted upon electro-chemically by an electrolytic solution of diluted sulfuric acid (H2SO4). The positive plate consists of lead peroxide (PbO2), and…
Batteries Theory
A battery converts chemical energy to electrical energy. This conversion enables electrical power to be stored. The purpose of a battery is to store chemical energy and to convert this…
How to Measure Specific Gravity of Battery
Specific gravity is defined as the ratio comparing the weight of any liquid to the weight of an equal volume of water. The specific gravity of pure water is 1.000.…
Battery Terminology
Batteries are used for a wide variety of services throughout technology today. To begin to study battery operation and characteristics, a few terms that are used with batteries must be…
Capacitive Time Constant
When a capacitor is connected to a DC voltage source, it charges very rapidly. If no resistance was present in the charging circuit, the capacitor would become charged almost instantaneously.…
