Components
- Chemical bath (65% distilled water H2O , 35% sulphuric acid H2SO4)
- Cells
- Plates covered in lead (negative)
- Plates covered in lead oxide (positive)
- Negative terminal
- Positive terminal
- Casing
Function
- The chemical bath acts as an electrolyte (a substance that conducts electricity)
- The battery has six cells that contain 2 electrodes each. one is positive the other is negative.There are16 individual plates in the cell that form a grid.
- Each cell produces between 2 and 2.1 volts. They are connected in series which gives the battery an overall percentage of 12 -12.6V
- The electrons flow from the positive plates (covered in lead oxide) through the chemical bath to the negative plates (covered in lead)
- The casing holds the chemical bath
- The positive terminal draws electrons in and the negative pushes the electrons out
