Will a damp battery affect charging?
1 Answers
It can be charged as long as it hasn't been exposed to rain. Below is the relevant information: 1. Battery: A battery is a type of storage battery, also known as an accumulator. Its working principle involves converting chemical energy into electrical energy. Typically, what people refer to as a battery is a lead-acid battery, which mainly uses lead and its oxides as electrodes and a sulfuric acid solution as the electrolyte. 2. Working principle: A lead plate filled with sponge-like lead serves as the negative electrode, a lead plate filled with lead dioxide serves as the positive electrode, and a 22-28% dilute sulfuric acid solution is used 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 an oxidation reaction and being oxidized to lead sulfate; lead dioxide acts as the positive electrode, undergoing a reduction reaction and being reduced to lead sulfate.
