2. Lead-acid battery - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lead-acid_battery

   The lead-acid battery is a type of rechargeable battery first invented in 1859 by French physicist Gaston Planté. It is the first type of rechargeable battery ever created. Compared to modern rechargeable batteries, lead-acid batteries have relatively low energy density. Despite this, they are able to supply high surge currents.

3. Battery charger - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battery_charger

   To accelerate the charging time and provide continuous charging, an intelligent charger attempts to detect the state of charge and condition of the battery and applies a 3-stage charging scheme. The following description assumes a sealed lead acid traction battery at 25 °C (77°F). The first stage is referred to as "bulk absorption"; the ...

4. VRLA battery - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VRLA_battery

   A 12V VRLA battery, typically used in small uninterruptible power supplies and emergency lamps. A valve regulated lead-acid (VRLA) battery, commonly known as a sealed lead-acid (SLA) battery, [1] is a type of lead-acid battery characterized by a limited amount of electrolyte ("starved" electrolyte) absorbed in a plate separator or formed into a gel; proportioning of the negative and positive ...

5. Deep-cycle battery - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep-cycle_battery

   A deep cycle battery powering a traffic signal. A deep-cycle battery is a battery designed to be regularly deeply discharged using most of its capacity. The term is traditionally mainly used for lead–acid batteries in the same form factor as automotive batteries; and contrasted with starter or 'cranking' automotive batteries designed to deliver only a small part of their capacity in a short ...

   For a lead–acid battery is typically between 1.1 and 1.3. For different lead–acid rechargeable battery technologies it generally ranges from 1.05 to 1.15 for VRSLAB AGM batteries, from 1.1 to 1.25 for gel, and from 1.2 to 1.6 for flooded batteries. The Peukert constant varies with the age of the battery, generally increasing (getting worse ...

7. Automotive battery - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automotive_battery

   A typical 12 V, 40 Ah lead-acid car battery. An automotive battery, or car battery, is a rechargeable battery that is used to start a motor vehicle.. Its main purpose is to provide an electric current to the electric-powered starting motor, which in turn starts the chemically-powered internal combustion engine that actually propels the vehicle.
