What Are The Common Batteries?

dry cell battery
Dry batteries are also called manganese-zinc batteries. The so-called dry batteries are relative to voltaic batteries, and the so-called manganese-zinc refers to their raw materials. For dry batteries made of other materials such as silver oxide batteries and nickel-cadmium batteries. The voltage of manganese-zinc battery is 1.5V. Dry batteries consume chemical raw materials to generate electrical energy. Its voltage is not high and the continuous current it can produce cannot exceed 1 amp.
Lead acid battery
The battery is one of the most widely used batteries. Use a glass or plastic tank, fill it with sulfuric acid, and insert two lead plates. One is connected to the positive electrode of the charger, and the other is connected to the negative electrode of the charger. After more than ten hours of charging, a battery is formed. It has 2 volts between its positive and negative terminals. The advantage of batteries is that they can be used repeatedly. In addition, because its internal resistance is extremely small, it can provide a large current. Use it to power the car's engine, and the instantaneous current can reach more than 20 amps. The battery stores electrical energy when charging, and converts chemical energy into electrical energy when discharging. [1]
lithium battery
Batteries with lithium as the negative electrode. It is a new type of high-energy battery developed after the 1960s. According to the electrolyte used, it is divided into:
①High temperature molten salt lithium battery;
②Organic electrolyte lithium battery;
③Inorganic non-aqueous electrolyte lithium battery;
④Solid electrolyte lithium battery;
⑤Lithium-water battery.
The advantages of lithium batteries are high single cell voltage, large specific energy, long storage life (up to 10 years), good high and low temperature performance, and can be used at -40~150℃. The disadvantages are that it is expensive and not very safe. In addition, voltage lag and safety issues need to be improved. Vigorous development of power batteries and the emergence of new cathode materials, especially the development of lithium iron phosphate materials, are of great help to the development of lithium batteries.
