Battery plays a lively function in
our day to day life. We use batteries in many different items such as
automobiles, calculators, laptops, radios, MP3 players, mobile phones etc.Every
mobile electronics device and electrical equipments have their battery pack.
Monitoring battery status is very much
necessary for the end user. A battery is a device in which chemical energy
changes into electrical energy. First of all we must know about the
construction of a battery. A battery consists of large no. of cells, each cell
has cathode in negative end and anode in positive end.
Now-a-days there are different types
of battery used, basically it is of two types i.e. primary and secondary. Primary batteries are most commonly used in
household/domestic purposes. It converts chemical energy into electrical
energy. It can’t be reusable i.e. after single use, it has to be thrown. It is
more likely known as alkaline battery. But in case of secondary, it can be
reusable and rechargeable for a specific period of time due to the presence of
lead acid, nickel cadmium and nickel hydride inside it. It is also known as
rechargeable battery. So the usage of secondary is preferable rather than using
primary.
Advantages:
·
Most
battery operated devices are easily portable.
·
It
can be applied in those regions where electricity is not supplied.
·
These
are effortlessly reinstantable.
·
It
can be salted away for a long periods of time.
Disadvantages
·
Rechargeable
batteries are used for a limited span of time.
·
Sometimes
batteries may cause of hazardous explosion, chemical pollution and so on.
·
Some
types are needed to be maintained and checked periodically.
Presently the market demands for
highly efficient and portable batteries which have higher longevity. To fill
these measures the capacity and capability of rechargeable cells has steadily
increased. Hence it is, saving you money and diluting your impact on the surroundings.
Maintenance of battery
Maintenance of battery
Battery maintenance is an important topic.
It only requires a little monthly maintain to perform perfectly.
·
You
should check the electrolyte level.
·
You
should avoid flames, sparks and smoking near the battery.
·
You
should use insulated tools while working on it.
·
You
should keep battery container side and top surface clean and neat.
Batteries are a great power source
for projects in different fields like industries, telecommunication,
construction etc, but we need to be solicitous while it’s using as well as
charging.
