When hooking up an LED, you are always supposed to use a current-limiting resistor to protect the LED from the full voltage. If you hook the LED up directly to the 5 volts without a resistor, the LED will be … Continue reading →

AGD spokesman Kenton Ross said that RC Cola was found to be the most acidic soft drink studied, with a pH of 2.387 (the pH scale ranges from 0 to 14 for most liquids, with 0 being the most acidic … Continue reading →

Getting more capacity will likely be a heavier expensive but will usually work fine. What is this? Not using the original battery brand, on the other hand, is completely fine as long as it has the same size and output … Continue reading →

Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH) and Potassium Hydroxide (KOH) are almost interchangeable. They are the most chemically similar of the hydroxides. They are both a white, strong alkaline, corrosive solid or powder. Sodium Hydroxide is more commonly known as lye or caustic … Continue reading →

A lead battery should never be fully discharged These batteries can often be discharged up to 70%. This means that in practice 30% cannot be used. Lithium batteries can be fully discharged which means you have the full capacity available … Continue reading →

Lithium-Ion batteries should never be depleted to below their minimum voltage, 2.4 V to 3.0 V per cell. How low can you discharge a lithium battery? Jumpstarting a lithium battery that is down to 10V or less will kill it. … Continue reading →

In general, these more-common battery group sizes are 24, 24F, 25, 34, 35, 51, 51R, 52, 58, 58R, 59, and 65. Helpful Hint: Some vehicles can handle a larger battery than was originally installed. A physically larger battery usually has … Continue reading →

With secondary or rechargeable batteries, a charger can reverse the electron flow and as such restore the initial excess of electrons in the anode – thus creating what we call a charged battery. Whether or not this reaction can be … Continue reading →

While taking lithium, do not make sudden changes to your salt intake. A sudden decrease in sodium intake (a component of salt) may result in higher serum lithium levels, while a sudden increase in sodium might prompt your lithium levels … Continue reading →

During discharge, the specific gravity decreases linearly with the ampere-hours discharged as indicated in the illustration below. Cell open circuit voltage = specific gravity + 0.845.Specific Gravity of Battery Electrolyte Review. Higher Gravity Lower Gravity Higher momentary discharge rates Lower … Continue reading →

As this measurement provides a more accurate reading of state of charge than open circuit voltage, we recommend that you focus on specific gravity for your batteries. The battery must sit for at least 2 hours before a measurement can … Continue reading →

It represents Chromium, a key component in the chemistry of these batteries (which is actually lithium-ion type cells…but do also require chromium in their chemical makeup). What does CR mean on lithium battery? Primary Batteries CR (Heat Resistant Coin Type … Continue reading →

Batteries with a UL Listing have been tested to meet nationally-recognized safety standards. They have been tested as complete final products, though complete components suitable for factory installation also can earn this designation. Are batteries UL certified? Battery cell and … Continue reading →

Lepidolite is a lilac-gray or rose-colored member of the mica group of minerals with chemical formula K(Li,Al) 3(Al,Si,Rb) 4O 10(F,OH) 2. It is the most abundant lithium-bearing mineral and is a secondary source of this metal. It is a phyllosilicate … Continue reading →
