2. Rechargeable battery - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rechargeable_battery

   The energy used to charge rechargeable batteries usually comes from a battery charger using AC mains electricity, although some are equipped to use a vehicle's 12-volt DC power outlet. The voltage of the source must be higher than that of the battery to force current to flow into it, but not too much higher or the battery may be damaged.

3. Anderson Powerpole - Wikipedia

   Many pieces of amateur radio equipment run on 12-volt DC automotive voltage, which is also called 13.8-volt DC. The voltage delivered by a lead–acid battery with six-cells used as an automotive battery will vary depending on various electrical loads in a vehicle. Without loads the battery will float from 11.7 to 12.8 volts, and while charging ...

4. Automobile auxiliary power outlet - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automobile_auxiliary_power...

   The use of cigarette lighter receptacles to supply 12 volt DC power is an example of backward compatibility to a de facto standard. As a power connector, the lighter receptacle is larger, harder to use and less reliable than other DC connectors [citation needed]. Cigarette lighter receptacles are in widespread use in many highway vehicles and ...

5. Battery charger - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battery_charger

   Rapid charging results in even faster recharge times and is limited only by available AC power, battery type, and the type of charging system. [20] Onboard EV chargers (change AC power to DC power to recharge the EV's pack) can be: Isolated: they make no physical connection between the A/C electrical mains and the batteries being charged. These ...

6. Electric battery - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_battery

   Rechargeable batteries are (re)charged by applying electric current, which reverses the chemical reactions that occur during discharge/use. Devices to supply the appropriate current are called chargers. The oldest form of rechargeable battery is the lead–acid battery, which are widely used in automotive and boating applications.

7. Voltage converter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voltage_converter

   A simple voltage dropper can be used to reduce the voltage for low-power devices; if more than 12V is required, or for high-powered devices, a switched-mode power supply is used. The output will usually be DC in the range 1.5–24 V. Power supplies that output either 100–120 V AC or 210–240 V AC are available; they are called inverters, due ...
