These batteries also contain cadmium, cadmium hydroxide and nickel hydroxide all of which are toxic. If the user comes into contact with potassium hydroxide then the effected area should be washed with a copious supply of water. Potassium hydroxide is … Continue reading →

For this chemistry type, 9Vs are given the designator “6LR61.” To use actual data, let’s look at this Energizer datasheet on their 522-style. It says that Alkaline batteries provide their longest life when current draw is less than 25mA. Which, … Continue reading →

No, it will not drain your battery, the circuit is not complete with a burnt out bulb. Can a blown fuse drain a car battery? The fuse by itself cannot drain the battery. It’s just a place in a circuit, … Continue reading →

Most battery fairy lights use either 2 or 3 AA batteries to light up to 40 LEDs comfortably. The beauty of having a battery light is the ease of use. Most AA batteries are 1.5 volts. The more batteries a … Continue reading →

If batteries are of the same voltage and chemistry, there should be no problem in connecting them in parallel. Older battery will probably have lower capacity than the new one, but voltages will have the same. Can I parallel two … Continue reading →

A smart alternator, also referred to as a variable voltage or ECU controlled charging system, runs at a lower voltage to a traditional alternator and then increases the voltage dramatically when the driver lifts off, this high voltage (around 17VDC) … Continue reading →

Like we stated above, the most common applications for 36V systems are golf carts and trolling motors. You might also see them on electric bikes. Robotics is another less common application for 36-volt batteries. You might see examples of 36V … Continue reading →

There are many different types of battery chargers and they can be categorised in a variety of ways – firstly how they indicate when a battery is charged which can be divided into two types – Manual or ‘Dumb’ chargers … Continue reading →
