2. Battery leakage - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battery_leakage

   A leaking AA alkaline battery. Alkaline batteries use manganese dioxide and zinc electrodes with an electrolyte of potassium hydroxide.The alkaline battery gets its name from the replacement of the acidic ammonium chloride of zinc–carbon batteries with potassium hydroxide, which is an alkaline.

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. Forensic polymer engineering - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forensic_polymer_engineering

   Scanning electron microscopy or SEM showed that the nylon connector had fractured by stress corrosion cracking due to a small leak of battery acid. Nylon is susceptible to hydrolysis in contact with sulfuric acid , and only a small leak of acid would have sufficed to start a brittle crack in the injection moulded connector by a mechanism known ...

5. Battery regenerator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battery_regenerator

   As the charging process continues, such a battery will reach the charger's preset cut-off more rapidly, long before it has had time to accept a complete charge. In this case the battery charger indicates the charge cycle is complete, but the battery actually holds very little energy. To the user, it appears that the battery is dying. [2]

6. Alkaline battery - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alkaline_battery

   Alkaline batteries are prone to leaking potassium hydroxide, a caustic agent that can cause respiratory, eye and skin irritation. [note 1] The risk of this can be reduced by storing batteries in a dry place and at room temperature. Damage from leakage is mitigated by removing batteries when storing devices.

7. 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 ...

8. Exide lead contamination - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exide_lead_contamination

   Students of Franklin Elementary School harvested and ate vegetables grown near the ESB, Inc. Exide lead-acid battery factory. From 1920 until 1978, the Electric Storage Battery Company (later ESB, Inc.) operated a lead-acid battery factory on forty acres of land in Crescentville at the intersection of Adams Avenue and Rising Sun Avenue. [52]

9. Stress corrosion cracking - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stress_corrosion_cracking

   For example, the fracture surface of a fuel connector showed the progressive growth of the crack from acid attack (Ch) to the final cusp (C) of polymer. In this case the failure was caused by hydrolysis of the polymer by contact with sulfuric acid leaking from a car battery. The degradation reaction is the reverse of the synthesis reaction of ...
