The battery of the Mercedes-Benz A160 is located under the front passenger seat. Introduction to Car Batteries: A car battery, also known as a storage battery, is a type of battery that works by converting chemical energy into electrical energy. Typically, the term 'battery' refers to a lead-acid battery, which is mainly composed of lead and its oxides, with a sulfuric acid solution as the electrolyte. Principle of Car Batteries: It uses a lead plate filled with spongy lead as the negative electrode, a lead plate filled with lead dioxide as the positive electrode, and a dilute sulfuric acid solution (0.22-0.28) 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, while lead dioxide acts as the positive electrode, undergoing reduction to also become lead sulfate.
