How Many Batteries Does the Little Tortoise King Have?
1 Answers
The Little Tortoise King electric scooter has 3 batteries with a 72V configuration. Overview of Automotive Batteries: A battery is a type of cell, also known as a storage battery, which works by converting chemical energy into electrical energy. Commonly referred to as lead-acid batteries, they primarily use lead and its oxides as electrodes and a sulfuric acid solution as the electrolyte. Working Principle of Automotive Batteries: The negative electrode is made of a lead plate filled with sponge lead, while the positive electrode is a lead plate filled with lead dioxide, using a 22–28% dilute sulfuric acid as the electrolyte. During charging, electrical energy is converted into chemical energy, and during discharging, chemical energy is converted back into electrical energy. When discharging, metallic lead acts as the negative electrode, undergoing oxidation to form lead sulfate, while lead dioxide acts as the positive electrode, undergoing reduction to form lead sulfate. When charging with direct current, the two electrodes generate lead and lead dioxide, respectively. After removing the power source, it returns to its pre-discharge state, forming a chemical cell. Lead-acid batteries are rechargeable and dischargeable cells, known as secondary batteries. The voltage is 2V, and typically, three lead-acid batteries are connected in series to achieve 6V. Automotive applications use six lead-acid batteries connected in series to form a 12V battery pack. Regular lead-acid batteries require the addition of distilled water after some use to maintain the electrolyte at 22–28% dilute sulfuric acid.
