battery

A device that stores electrical energy using electrochemical cells Chemical reactions occur spontaneously at the electrodes when they are connected trough an external circuit, producing an electrical current The physical construction of the battery is such that it does not permit the intermixing and consequent direct reaction of the chemicals stored in it See also rechargeable battery and non-rechargeable battery And an Encyclopedia Article

battery

battery

Literally, a set of similar items, such as an artillery battery Used to describe a battery of electrochemical cells connected in series

battery

to recharge your batteries: see recharge see also assault and battery. Any of a class of devices, consisting of a group of electrochemical cells (see electrochemistry), that convert chemical energy into electrical energy; the term is also commonly applied to a single cell of this kind. A wet cell (e.g., a car battery) contains free liquid electrolyte; in a dry cell (e.g., a flashlight battery) the electrolyte is held in an absorbent material. Chemicals are arranged so that electrons released from the battery's negative electrode flow (see electric current) through a circuit outside the battery (in the device powered by it) to the battery's positive electrode. The battery's voltage depends on the chemicals used and the number of cells (in series); the current depends on the resistance in the total circuit (including the battery and thus on electrode size). Multiple batteries may be connected in series (the positive electrode of one to the negative electrode of the next), which increases total voltage, or in parallel (positive to positive and negative to negative), which increases total current. Batteries that are not rechargeable include standard dry cells used in flashlights and certain wet cells for marine, mine, highway, and military use. Car batteries, many kinds of dry cells used in cordless appliances, and batteries for certain military and aerospace uses may be recharged repeatedly

battery

any energy-storage device allowing release of electricity on demand It is made up of one or more electrical cells Primary-cell batteries are disposable; secondary-cell batteries, or accumulators, are rechargeable Primary-cell batteries are an extremely uneconomical form of energy, since they produce only 2% of the power used in their manufacture The lead-acid car battery is a secondary-cell battery The car's generator continually recharges the battery It consists of sets of lead (positive) and lead peroxide (negative) plates in an electrolyte of sulfuric acid (battery acid) The introduction of rechargeable nickel-cadmium batteries has revolutionized portable electronic newsgathering (sound recording, video) and information processing (computing) These batteries offer a stable, short-term source of power free of noise and other electrical hazards [return to top]
