   For batteries that power electric vehicles, see Electric vehicle 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 ...

3. 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.

4. Molten-salt battery - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molten-salt_battery

   Molten-salt batteries are a class of battery that uses molten salts as an electrolyte and offers both a high energy density and a high power density. Traditional non-rechargeable thermal batteries can be stored in their solid state at room temperature for long periods of time before being activated by heating.

5. Nickel–cadmium battery - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nickel–cadmium_battery

   The battery performs very well under rough conditions, perfect for use in portable tools. Ni–Cd batteries typically last longer, in terms of number of charge/discharge cycles, than other rechargeable batteries such as lead/acid batteries. Compared to lead–acid batteries, Ni–Cd batteries have a much higher energy density. A Ni–Cd battery ...

   Battery recycling by type. Most types of batteries can be recycled. However, some batteries are recycled more readily than others, such as lead–acid automotive batteries (nearly 90% are recycled) and button cells (because of the value and toxicity of their chemicals). [4] Rechargeable nickel–cadmium (Ni-Cd), nickel metal hydride (Ni-MH ...
