In December 2019, Lucid broke ground on a factory in Casa Grande, Arizona, the first greenfield facility for EV manufacturing in the United States. On December 1, 2020, Lucid completed factory construction, dubbed AMP-1, and “aims to ramp up to … Continue reading →

Undercharging. Both overcharging and undercharging a battery can cause battery damage. If you don’t leave the battery on the charger until it’s fully charged, the battery will drain faster. What kills a battery fast? Your battery drains much faster when … Continue reading →

The basic fact to remember before you check the battery is that the proper voltage for AA/AAA alkaline battery is 1.5V and the proper voltage for AA rechargeable battery is 1.25 Volts. At what voltage is a AA battery no … Continue reading →

How many volts does vinegar have? According to our meter, this vinegar battery is producing . 834 volts. This battery still only produces a tiny current. Connect more batteries in series to increase voltage and current flow. What is vinegar … Continue reading →

Pure water is neither acidic or basic; it is neutral. So how does something become acidic or basic? That happens when the hydroniums and the hydroxyls are out of balance. Is water technically an acid? –Water is considered an acid … Continue reading →

You should never add chlorine and muriatic acid at the same time. The muriatic acid will react with the chlorine in your pool and create a deadly gas called hydrochloric acid. You need to wait for a minimum of 30 … Continue reading →

Root beer’s advantage Root beer was found to be the least acidic of all soft drinks, with a pH 4.038 for the Mug brand, Jain and her colleagues found. The reason for the reduced acidity is that root beer is … Continue reading →

LEDs, being diodes, will only allow current to flow in one direction. And when there’s no current-flow, there’s no light. Luckily, this also means that you can’t break an LED by plugging it in backwards. Rather, it just won’t work. … Continue reading →

The megawatt hours unit number 1,000.00 MWh converts to 1 GWh, one gigawatt hour. What is GWh and MW? Wh = watt-hour. kWh = kilowatt-hour. MWh = megawatt-hour. GWh = gigawatt-hour. How many MWh are in a gigawatt? The gigawatt … Continue reading →

The average fridge consumes 40 watts of electricity per hour which means 960 watt-hours of battery capacity would be needed to run a fridge for 24 hours. 960 watt-hours equates to 80Ah, so a 160Ah deep-cycle lead-acid battery discharged to … Continue reading →

The key is to use the watts you know to calculate the amps at the battery voltage . For example, say you want to run a 250 watt 110VAC light bulb from an inverter for 5 hours. Amp-hours (at 12 … Continue reading →

In the case of Li-ion batteries, copper is used as the current collector for the anode and aluminum is used as the current collector for the cathode. What is copper used for in a battery? It is clear that copper … Continue reading →

The “m” in “mA” is always lower case and the “A” is always upper case. mAh – Is a measure of charge. 1 mAh is the amount of charge transferred by moving 1 mA of current for a period of … Continue reading →

1. Graphite. Graphite is perhaps one of the most successful and attractive battery materials found to date. Not only is it a highly abundant material, but it also helps to avoid dendrite formation and the high reactivity of alkali metal … Continue reading →
