A battery charger, recharger, or simply charger, [1] [2] is a device that stores energy in an electric battery by running current through it. The charging protocol—how much voltage and current, for how long and what to do when charging is complete—depends on the size and type of the battery being charged.
A battery management system (BMS) is any electronic system that manages a rechargeable battery (cell or battery pack) by facilitating the safe usage and a long life of the battery in practical scenarios while monitoring and estimating its various states (such as state of health and state of charge), [1] calculating secondary data, reporting that data, controlling its environment ...
Common battery contacts and terminals for smaller batteries. Battery terminals are the electrical contacts used to connect a load or charger to a single cell or multiple-cell battery. These terminals have a wide variety of designs, sizes, and features that are often not well documented.
A valve-regulated lead-acid battery is a battery type that is popular in telecommunications network environments as a reliable backup power source. VRLA batteries are used in the outside plant at locations such as Controlled Environmental Vaults (CEVs), Electronic Equipment Enclosures (EEEs), and huts, and in uncontrolled structures such as ...
If the positive and negative terminals of the battery are close enough, licking a nine-volt battery can be a quick test to check if a battery has any charge left. A tingling sensation can be felt across the tongue depending on the voltage of the battery; The higher the current flowing through the tongue the more intense the tingling sensation.
The actual voltage, matching the car battery's voltage, will be approximately 12.5 volts when dormant (less in cold conditions), approximately 14.5 volts when the engine and the alternator/generator are operating (more when cold), and may briefly drop as low as 5–6 volts during engine start due to the high temporary battery current usage.

Standard battery nomenclature describes portable dry cell batteries that have physical dimensions and electrical characteristics interchangeable between manufacturers. The long history of disposable dry cells means that many manufacturer-specific and national standards were used to designate sizes, long before international standards were reached.
CR2032 lithium button cell battery Lithium 9 volt, AA, and AAA sizes. The top object is a battery of three lithium-manganese dioxide cells; the bottom two are lithium-iron disulfide cells and are compatible with 1.5-volt alkaline cells. Lithium metal batteries are primary batteries that have metallic lithium as an anode.
