Can a swollen battery still be traded in for a new one?
1 Answers
As long as the battery is swollen, it will be scrapped. Trading it in for a new one means recycling the lead and plastic at a discounted price, which has nothing to do with whether the battery is old or new. Below is the relevant introduction: 1. Battery: A battery is a type of storage battery, also known as an accumulator. Its working principle is to convert chemical energy into electrical energy. The battery commonly referred to by people is a lead-acid battery, which mainly uses lead and its oxides as electrodes and a sulfuric acid solution as the electrolyte. 2. Working principle: A lead plate filled with spongy lead is used as the negative electrode, a lead plate filled with lead dioxide is used as the positive electrode, and a 22-28% dilute sulfuric acid solution is used as the electrolyte. During charging, electrical energy is converted into chemical energy, and during discharging, chemical energy is converted back into electrical energy. When the battery discharges, metallic lead is the negative electrode, undergoing an oxidation reaction and being oxidized to lead sulfate; lead dioxide is the positive electrode, undergoing a reduction reaction and being reduced to lead sulfate.
