  2. 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 ...

  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. Ampere-hour - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ampere-hour

    An AA size dry cell has a capacity of about 2,000 to 3,000 milliampere-hours. An average smartphone battery usually has between 2,500 and 4,000 milliampere-hours of electric capacity. Automotive car batteries vary in capacity but a large automobile propelled by an internal combustion engine would have about a 50-ampere-hour battery capacity.

  5. Engine displacement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engine_displacement

    One complete cycle of a four-cylinder, four-stroke engine. The volume displaced is marked in orange. Engine displacement is the measure of the cylinder volume swept by all of the pistons of a piston engine, excluding the combustion chambers. [1] It is commonly used as an expression of an engine's size, and by extension as an indicator of the ...

  6. Power-to-weight ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power-to-weight_ratio

    Power-to-weight (specific power) The power-to-weight ratio (specific power) is defined as the power generated by the engine (s) divided by the mass. In this context, the term "weight" can be considered a misnomer, as it colloquially refers to mass. In a zero-gravity (weightless) environment, the power-to-weight ratio would not be considered ...

  7. 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 ...

  8. Battery nomenclature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battery_nomenclature

    Battery numbering. IEC 60086 battery type designation system. Examples of the IEC nomenclature are batteries coded R20, 4R25X, 4LR25-2, 6F22, 6P222/162, CR17345 and LR2616J. The letters and numbers in the code indicate the number of cells, cell chemistry, shape, dimensions, the number of parallel paths in the assembled battery and any modifying ...

  9. Conversion of units - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conversion_of_units

    The factor–label method can convert only unit quantities for which the units are in a linear relationship intersecting at 0 (ratio scale in Stevens's typology). Most conversions fit this paradigm. An example for which it cannot be used is the conversion between the Celsius scale and the Kelvin scale (or the Fahrenheit scale). Between degrees ...
