Rechargeable Batteries Info | Rechargeable Battery FAQs
At Battery Giant, we want our customers to be happy with their rechargeable battery purchase. We achieve this by providing our customers with all the information they need regarding rechargeable batteries. Below are basic rechargeable battery FAQs to help answer any of your general rechargeable battery questions.
Q: How does a rechargeable battery work?
A: A rechargeable battery works similar to other common batteries. Rechargeable batteries store energy in a chemical form that can be released on demand as electricity. Each rechargeable battery cell consists of positive plates, negative plates and an electrolyte solution. Rechargeable batteries produce electricity because of the chemical reaction between these elements.
Q: What should I consider when purchasing a replacement rechargeable battery?
A: There are three important factors to consider when buying replacement rechargeable batteries. While shopping for replacement rechargeable batteries, it is critical to consider size, power and warranty. Although it is recommended to consult the manufacturers recommended guidelines in attaining the correct replacement rechargeable battery, below are some general factors to consider while selecting a replacement rechargeable battery.
First, you have to make sure the replacement rechargeable battery will work correctly. Check the physical dimensions of the new rechargeable battery with that of your original rechargeable battery. Next you need to consider what the required power is for the replacement rechargeable battery. Finally, you need to consider the rechargeable battery warranty period. We recommend choosing replacement rechargeable batteries with a warranty period that best fits your needs.
Q: What causes batteries for rechargeable units to fail?
A: There are several factors that contribute to the failure of replacement batteries for rechargeable units. Excessive heat causes corrosion, which can dry out the replacement rechargeable battery cell. This is a common reason for the failure of replacement rechargeable batteries. Extreme cold weather can sometimes put a heavier drain on rechargeable batteries. This also is a contributor to rechargeable battery failure. Also, if a rechargeable battery is not securely held down, vibrations can shed the active material from the rechargeable battery plate grids. This will cause failure in most batteries for rechargeable units. Overcharging a rechargeable battery may cause overheating. Although typically a prolonged process, overcharging can eventually cause rechargeable batteries to depreciate. Other possible factors that can cause rechargeable batteries to fail include corroded terminals, sulfation due to inactivity, or electrical shorts in the rechargeable battery itself. These are just some of the common causes of rechargeable battery failure. Rechargeable batteries can vary in composition, which can influence how a rechargeable battery depreciates.
Q: Where is the best place to store rechargeable batteries during the off season?
A: Before storing a rechargeable battery, make sure it is fully charged. Remember that fully charged rechargeable batteries will not freeze, but a discharged rechargeable battery can freeze. Test your rechargeable battery and charge the rechargeable battery if necessary. It also might be wise to purchase a rechargeable battery maintainer. After a full charge and test, now you are ready for rechargeable battery storage. It is important to store rechargeable batteries in a cool, dry and well ventilated area out of the reach of children or pets. Check the level of charge within the rechargeable battery every 30-45 days. A trickle charge using a rechargeable battery maintainer or low amperage charge overnight might be necessary for some rechargeable batteries depending on their age and composition. Also a good rechargeable battery storage precaution is to check the fluid level inside the rechargeable battery. If the fluid level is low inside the rechargeable battery, add distilled water.
Q: How do you properly charge rechargeable batteries?
A: Proper charging of rechargeable batteries is important. While the rechargeable battery charger or rechargeable battery maintainer is still unplugged, connect the leads to the proper (+)(-) terminals. Wiggle the rechargeable battery connectors to ensure a good connection. Adjust the settings on the rechargeable battery charger for correct voltage and amperage. Now you can plug in the rechargeable battery charger and turn it on. While charging rechargeable batteries in a well-ventilated area, periodically check on the rechargeable battery for any obvious signs of rechargeable battery charging malfunctions. Make sure that while charging rechargeable batteries that there is no signs of overheating. If the rechargeable battery is too hot to touch or if the rechargeable battery is gassing profusely, turn the charger off immediately. Once the rechargeable battery is fully charged, turn the charger off, unplug it from the wall and unhook the rechargeable battery charging cables. Always use caution when charging rechargeable batteries.
Q: What are common types of rechargeable batteries?
A: Seeking a specific rechargeable battery can be tedious endeavor. Because there are many rechargeable batteries out there, pinpointing the exact rechargeable battery to fit your application requires some research. Two very common rechargeable batteries is the nickel-metal hydride rechargeable battery (NiMH rechargeable battery) and the nickel-cadmium rechargeable battery (NiCd rechargeable battery).
More About Rechargeable Batteries
The Rechargeable Battery: The NiCd Rechargeable Battery and NiMH Rechargeable Battery
Two common styles of rechargeable batteries are nickel-cadmium rechargeable batteries (NiCd rechargeable batteries) and nickel metal hydride rechargeable batteries (NiMH rechargeable batteries). Nickel-cadmium rechargeable batteries (NiCd rechargeable batteries) are not used for rechargeables as much anymore due to the memory effect. Although nickel metal hydride rechargeable batteries (NiMH rechargeable batteries) last longer than nickel-cadmium rechargeable batteries (NiCd rechargeable batteries), both are still common in the rechargeable battery industry.
Rechargeable Batteries And The Memory Effect
What sets Nickel-Cadmium rechargeable batteries (NiCd rechargeable batteries) and nickel metal hydride rechargeable batteries (NiMH rechargeable batteries) can be explained by the "memory effect". The memory effect often occurs in nickel-cadmium rechargeable batteries (NiCd rechargeable batteries). The downside of the memory effect in nickel-cadmium rechargeable batteries (NiCd rechargeable batteries) is the inability for the NiCd rechargeable battery to reach a complete and full recharge. In other words, the nickel-cadmium rechargeable batteries (NiCd rechargeable batteries) cannot reach their full level of charging capacity.
How do Nickel-Cadmium rechargeable batteries (NiCd rechargeable batteries) experience the memory effect?
Nickel-cadmium rechargeable batteries (NiCd rechargeable batteries) are unable to reach full charge capacity when the NiCd rechargeable battery experienced "voltage depression". Voltage depression is a common issue with both nickel-cadmium rechargeable batteries (NiCd rechargeable batteries) and nickel metal hydride rechargeable batteries (NiMH rechargeable batteries). This occurs as the voltage in the rechargeable battery drops unusually quickly as the rechargeable battery discharges. The voltage drop in a NiCd rechargeable battery as well as some NiMH rechargeable batteries can occur from overcharging and aging. A basic rechargeable battery cannot counteract aging. The older rechargeable batteries get, the less capacity the rechargeable battery will have.M
Fully discharging a nickel-cadmium rechargeable battery (NiCd rechargeable battery) can help counteract voltage depression in rechargeable batteries. However, fully discharging whole rechargeable batteries may results the stronger rechargeable battery cells "reversing" the weaker rechargeable battery cells. Weaker rechargeable battery cells are the first to go flat. This is highly aversive for the rechargeable battery cells, and can potentially drain a rechargeable battery abnormally fast.
