What is a (Car) Battery
Like the smaller variety of rechargeable cell batteries used in other electronic devices, Car Batteries provide power for the electrical systems of a vehicle. The standard system includes Start up, Lights and Ignition, in electric vehicles this will also be the main power source. These kinds of Batteries are lead-acid based and provide 12.6 volts of power when fully charged. Larger machines and heavy vehicles may be fitted with two batteries to provide a higher voltage of power.
Lead-acid Batteries are made up of plates of lead and lead dioxide which are placed in a solution of sulphuric acid and water known as an electrolyte solution. This solution causes a chemical reaction that produces electricity and when the battery is recharged the reaction is reversed in order the charge it.
Recycling your old Batteries helps the environment by reducing the need to produce new supplies of
these chemicals and keeping toxic waste out of landfill sites.
How to change a Battery?
Batteries last longer when they are in a charged state and lack of use will shorten the lifespan. Fluid loss occurs during use and they may need regular topping up with water. Changing a Battery is straightforward, they have two connections that give a negative and positive charge. Manufacturers recommend disconnecting the negative ground connection first, which is usually marked with a minus symbol next to it and then connecting the positive. This will avoid shorting out the electrical connectivity between the battery and the vehicle. When replacing with a new one this process is reversed and the positive is connected first, this is usually marked with a plus symbol next to it and then the negative. Care should be taken in their handling as the chemical solution is highly corrosive and dangerous to life.
