2. Lead–acid battery - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lead–acid_battery

   Min. −35°C, max. 45°C. 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 ...

3. Electric vehicle battery - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_vehicle_battery

   An electric vehicle battery is a rechargeable battery used to power the electric motors of a battery electric vehicle (BEV) or hybrid electric vehicle (HEV). They are typically lithium-ion batteries that are designed for high power-to-weight ratio and energy density. Compared to liquid fuels, most current battery technologies have much lower ...

4. Nickel–metal hydride battery - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nickel–metal_hydride_battery

   Nickel–metal hydride battery. A nickel–metal hydride battery (NiMH or Ni–MH) is a type of rechargeable battery. The chemical reaction at the positive electrode is similar to that of the nickel–cadmium cell (NiCd), with both using nickel oxide hydroxide (NiOOH). However, the negative electrodes use a hydrogen-absorbing alloy instead of ...

5. Electric battery - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_battery

   An electric battery is a source of electric power consisting of one or more electrochemical cells with external connections [1] for powering electrical devices. When a battery is supplying power, its positive terminal is the cathode and its negative terminal is the anode. [2] The terminal marked negative is the source of electrons.

6. Galvanic cell - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galvanic_cell

   A galvanic cell or voltaic cell, named after the scientists Luigi Galvani and Alessandro Volta, respectively, is an electrochemical cell in which an electric current is generated from spontaneous oxidation–reduction reactions. An example of a galvanic cell consists of two different metals, each immersed in separate beakers containing their ...

7. Automotive battery - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automotive_battery

   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 ...

8. Solid-state battery - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid-state_battery

   A solid-state battery is an electrical battery that uses a solid electrolyte for ionic conductions between the electrodes, instead of the liquid or gel polymer electrolytes found in conventional batteries. [1] Solid-state batteries theoretically offer much higher energy density than the typical lithium-ion or lithium polymer batteries.

9. VRLA battery - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VRLA_battery

   A 12V VRLA battery, typically used in small uninterruptible power supplies and emergency lamps. A valve regulated lead–acid (VRLA) battery, commonly known as a sealed lead–acid (SLA) battery, [1] is a type of lead–acid battery characterized by a limited amount of electrolyte ("starved" electrolyte) absorbed in a plate separator or formed into a gel; proportioning of the negative and ...
