What is Battery Repair Fluid?
1 Answers
Battery repair fluid is diluted sulfuric acid solution. Relevant information about car batteries is as follows: 1. Introduction: The battery, also known as a storage battery, is a type of cell that works by converting chemical energy into electrical energy. Typically, the battery referred to by people is a lead-acid battery, which is mainly made of lead and its oxides, with the electrolyte being a sulfuric acid solution. 2. Chemical Process: The negative electrode is made of a lead plate filled with spongy lead, and the positive electrode is made of a lead plate filled with lead dioxide, using 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 the battery discharges, metallic lead acts as the negative electrode, undergoing oxidation to become lead sulfate; lead dioxide acts as the positive electrode, undergoing reduction to become lead sulfate. When the battery is charged with direct current, lead and lead dioxide are generated at the two electrodes respectively. After removing the power source, it returns to the state before discharge, forming a chemical cell. Lead-acid batteries are rechargeable and dischargeable, known as secondary batteries. The voltage is 2V, and typically three lead-acid batteries are connected in series to achieve 6V. In cars, six lead-acid batteries are connected in series to form a 12V battery pack. Ordinary lead-acid batteries require the addition of sulfuric acid after a period of use to maintain the electrolyte as a 22-28% dilute sulfuric acid solution.
