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. Self-discharge - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-discharge

   Self-discharge is a chemical reaction, just as closed-circuit discharge is, and tends to occur more quickly at higher temperatures. Storing batteries at lower temperatures thus reduces the rate of self-discharge and preserves the initial energy stored in the battery. Self-discharge is also thought to be reduced as a passivation layer develops ...

4. 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 that will ...

5. Health and environmental effects of battery electric cars

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Health_and_environmental...

   Under the provisionally agreed Euro 7 standard electric cars have a lower limit of brake particulates. [12][13] Electric cars may have some disadvantages, such as: Possible increased tire pollution compared to fossil-fueled cars. This is sometimes caused by the fact that most electric cars have a heavy battery, which means the car's tires are ...

6. 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 ...

7. Environmental impacts of lithium-ion batteries - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environmental_impacts_of...

   Lithium-ion batteries must be handled with extreme care from when they're created, to being transported, to being recycled. Recycling is extremely vital to limiting the environmental impacts of lithium-ion batteries. By recycling the batteries, emissions and energy consumption can be reduced as less lithium would need to be mined and processed.
