When a battery-shaped warning light appears on the car dashboard, it indicates a malfunction in the battery system, requiring timely inspection and repair. Below is an introduction to automotive batteries: 1. Introduction: A car battery, also known as a storage battery, is a type of battery that works by converting chemical energy into electrical energy. The commonly referred-to car battery is a lead-acid battery, which is primarily made of lead and its oxides, with a sulfuric acid solution as the electrolyte. 2. Conventional Battery: The plates of a conventional battery are composed of lead and lead oxides, with a sulfuric acid solution as the electrolyte. The main advantages are stable voltage and low cost; the disadvantages include low specific energy (the amount of electrical energy stored per kilogram of battery), short service life, and frequent maintenance requirements.
