  2. Lead–acid battery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lead–acid_battery

    Consider a battery that has been completely discharged (such as occurs when leaving the car lights on overnight, a current draw of about 6 amps). If it then is given a fast charge for only a few minutes, the battery plates charge only near the interface between the plates and the electrolyte.

  3. Automotive battery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automotive_battery

    A typical 12 V, 40 Ah lead-acid car battery. An automotive battery, or car battery, is a rechargeable battery that is used to start a motor vehicle.. Its main purpose is to provide an electric current to the electric-powered starting motor, which in turn starts the chemically-powered internal combustion engine that actually propels the vehicle.

  4. Rechargeable battery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rechargeable_battery

    A rechargeable battery, storage battery, or secondary cell (formally a type of energy accumulator), is a type of electrical battery which can be charged, discharged into a load, and recharged many times, as opposed to a disposable or primary battery, which is supplied fully charged and discarded after use.

  5. Battery pack - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battery_pack

    SOC cannot be determined by a simple voltage measurement, because the terminal voltage of a battery may stay substantially constant until it is completely discharged. In some types of battery, electrolyte specific gravity may be related to state of charge but this is not measurable on typical battery pack cells, and is not related to state of ...

  6. Nickel–metal hydride battery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nickel–metal_hydride_battery

    Useful discharge capacity is a decreasing function of the discharge rate, but up to a rate of around 1×C (full discharge in 1 hour), it does not differ significantly from the nominal capacity. [26] NiMH batteries nominally operate at 1.2 V per cell, somewhat lower than conventional 1.5 V cells, but can operate many devices designed for that ...

  7. Jump start (vehicle) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jump_start_(vehicle)

    Boosting a dead battery through a battery charger can take anywhere from five to twenty minutes depending on the depth-of-discharge (DOD), health of the vehicle battery, and type of engine (engine displacement). AC power is not usually available for a roadside boost. Jump starters are portable battery devices that allow for jump starting of ...

  8. Glossary of automotive terms - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_automotive_terms

    One of a pair of heavy-duty electrical leads by which a vehicle with a discharged battery may be connected to an external source of power, such as a charged battery in another vehicle, in order to recharge the dead battery, a process known as a jump start. [1] jump start. Also boost or simply jump.

  9. Electric vehicle battery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_vehicle_battery

    A refurbishing company can sell or reuse the discharged energy from the module to reduce the cost of this process. Robots are being used to increase the safety of the dismantling process. [51] [53] Battery technology is non-transparent and lacks standards.
