What Type of Battery is an Automotive Battery?
1 Answers
Automotive batteries belong to the lead-acid battery category. Below is a relevant introduction to automotive batteries: 1. Composition: The structure of an automotive lead-acid battery mainly consists of positive (negative) plates, separators, electrolyte, case, connecting straps, and terminals. 2. Function: When starting the engine, it provides a strong starting current (around 10A) to the starter. When the generator is overloaded, it can assist the generator in supplying power to electrical devices. When the engine is idling, it supplies power to electrical devices. The battery also acts as a large-capacity capacitor, protecting the vehicle's electrical appliances. When the generator's terminal voltage is higher than the electromotive force of the lead-acid battery, it converts part of the electrical energy into chemical energy for storage, which is the charging process.
