You could be wondering what this means. Worry not because the definition is right down below. A battery has cycles of charging and discharging. During these cycles sulfuric acid forms crystals with lead. These formed crystals do not mix well with water and they settle at the bottom of the battery. This is what we … Read more
Even though technology works towards reducing the battery hazards associated with batteries, the batteries still have some dangers that we cannot ignore. Therefore, proper care needs to be observed while working on batteries specifically while inside the battery charging rooms. All batteries have the common risk of acid spillages and acid burns. Acid forms part … Read more
Do not worry if you don’t know what this means because we are going to define it here. The confirmed difference in electrical potential between the positive and negative terminals, when there is no load connected, is what we refer to as a battery’s open circuit voltage (OCV). The main purpose for having this test … Read more
A battery as we had earlier mentioned, is made up of cells connected in a series. In a series connection, when one cell fails, it affects the whole connection and the battery may fail. For such failures to be detected a battery intercell connection test can be conducted. Such cases of battery failure due to … Read more
I know you might be wondering how charging can float right? Here is the answer to your question. When we talk about a floating charge, this is the kind of charge that is applied to the battery so that its capacity is maintained at full charge or close to the full charge. Float charging comes … Read more
Just like in a vehicle, the battery in a motorcycle provides power so that the motorbike can start. It is also the battery that provides power for the electrical components of the motorcycles to work. Some of the components powered by the battery include the headlights, taillights, etc. Battery charging in a motorbike applies the … Read more
The car battery is necessary for the vehicle to move. The battery has a lifespan, after which it will need replacement. You might be wondering whether you will have to charge a new battery if you buy one, right? Do you need to charge a new car battery? NO. You do not have to charge … Read more
You might be wondering what the hell a battery impedance test is right? Now, what a battery impedance test does it to measure the electrical path of the battery from the terminal plate to the next. Using this test, it becomes easy to identify a weak cell in a battery. How to Conduct Battery Impedance … Read more
Batteries do store energy in chemical form and this energy when a load is connected will turn into electrical energy. To avoid the hazards that come with electrical energy there are safety tips that needs to be taken into consideration. It is through the chemical reactions taking place inside the battery that the battery is … Read more
For batteries to be able to store energy, the energy has to be in chemical form. The process of converting electrical energy into chemical energy so that the battery is able to store the energy is what is referred to as battery charging. The battery thereafter produces electrical energy by converting the chemical energy. This therefore … Read more
