How to Test the Condition of a Battery?
1 Answers
Battery performance can be assessed through external inspection, checking the electrolyte level, measuring the terminal voltage, testing the electrolyte concentration, and evaluating the battery's discharge level. Generally, a faulty battery will exhibit abnormalities in these tests. Relevant information about automotive batteries is as follows: 1. Introduction: An automotive battery, also known as a storage battery, is a type of battery that converts chemical energy into electrical energy. Typically, the term "battery" refers to a lead-acid battery, which is primarily made of lead and its oxides, with a sulfuric acid solution as the electrolyte. 2. Working Principle: It uses lead plates filled with sponge lead as the negative electrode and lead plates filled with lead dioxide as the positive electrode, with a 22-28% dilute sulfuric acid solution as the electrolyte. During charging, electrical energy is converted into chemical energy, and during discharging, chemical energy is converted back into electrical energy.
