    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battery_charger

    Charging a 12 V lead–acid car battery A mobile phone plugged in to an AC adapter for charging. A battery charger, recharger, or simply charger, [1] [2] is a device that stores energy in an electric battery by running current through it.

  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. 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 ...

  6. Rechargeable alkaline battery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rechargeable_alkaline_battery

    The first generation rechargeable alkaline batteries were introduced by Union Carbide and Mallory in the early 1970s. [3] [5] Several patents were introduced after Union Carbide's product discontinuation and eventually, in 1986, Battery Technologies Inc of Canada was founded to commercially develop a 2nd generation product based on those patents, under the trademark "RAM".

  7. Charge cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charge_cycle

    Discharging the battery fully before recharging may be called "deep discharge"; partially discharging then recharging may be called "shallow discharge". A "charge cycle" is not a unit of time; the length of time spent charging or discharging does not affect the number of charge cycles. [1] Each battery is affected differently by charge cycles ...

  8. Lead–acid battery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lead–acid_battery

    The lead–acid battery is a type of rechargeable battery first invented in 1859 by French physicist Gaston Planté. It is the first type of rechargeable battery ever created. Compared to modern rechargeable batteries, lead–acid batteries have relatively low energy density. Despite this, they are able to supply high surge currents.

  9. Aluminium–air battery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aluminium–air_battery

    The problem can be avoided by storing the electrolyte in a tank outside the battery and transferring it to the battery when it is required for use. These batteries can be used as reserve batteries in telephone exchanges and as backup power sources. Another problem is the cost of materials that need to be added to the battery to avoid power ...
