In short, a regular flooded lead-acid battery charger can be used to charge AGM batteries, but the charging process requires monitoring and intervention on the part of the user. Can a lead acid battery charger charge a AGM battery? If … Continue reading →

45-60 minutes. 6v batteries will generally hold enough charge for 45-60 minutes of continuous use, while 12v batteries can hold enough for 2-4 hours depending on the power requirements of the installed motor. How long does a ride on battery … Continue reading →

A dry cell is a type of electric battery, commonly used for portable electrical devices. It was developed in 1886 by the German scientist Carl Gassner, after development of wet zinc–carbon batteries by Georges Leclanché in 1866. What is dry … Continue reading →

There are three types of cells that are used in lithium batteries – cylindrical, prismatic, and pouch cells. For the purpose of this blog, all cells are lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) and 3.2 volts (V). Is a lithium-ion battery an … Continue reading →

What do you need to make a galvanic cell? Setup of a Galvanic Cell The cell would ideally include two electrodes. One of these electrodes, the cathode, shall be a positively charged electrode while the other, shall be the anode, … Continue reading →

Sometimes known as a voltaic cell or Daniell cell is a galvanic cell. One example of a galvanic cell is the common household battery. The electrons flow from one chemical reaction to another occurs through an external circuit that results … Continue reading →

The lead–acid battery consists of two electrodes submerged in an electrolyte of sulfuric acid. The positive electrode is made of grains of metallic lead oxide, while the negative electrode is attached to a grid of metallic lead. Lead–acid batteries are … Continue reading →

An electrolytic cell is an electrochemical cell in which the energy from an external power source is used to drive a normally non-spontaneous reaction, i.e. apply a reverse voltage to a voltaic cell. What is the difference electrochemical cell and … Continue reading →

Properly maintained deep-cycle batteries should last for 6 or more years. Unfortunately some RV owners replace RV batteries every year or two. Extending battery life is not difficult; it just requires some basic care & maintenance. When should I replace … Continue reading →

Due to the large size of wet cells, they can be only used in larger equipment, e.g. car batteries, and cannot be used in small devices, like mobile phones. Dry cells have a higher energy density compared to wet cells. … Continue reading →

The gold nanowires are strengthened by a manganese dioxide shell encased in an Plexiglas-like gel electrolyte. The combination is reliable and resistant to failure. After cycling a test electrode about 200,000 times, no loss of capacity or power, nor fracturing … Continue reading →
