Document Summary

The leclanche dry cell is the most common type of voltaic cell, incented by. Size of the battery is not related to the potential. There is no electrolyte so the size of the cell is small. The solvent can be replaced by a polymer to give a newer generation of lithium ion polymer batteries. The lead-acid battery, as used in automobiles, is a series of secondary cells which is capable of repeated use, as its chemical reactions are reversible. The electrolyte acid is very cheap to make. While h2 is dangerous because of its flammability, it can be safely transported. While h2 is dangerous because of its flammability, it can be safely transported by absorbing large volumes of h2 onto special materials. How batteries are used and why is it important. The application of electrical energy to overcome the negative potential of this non- spontaneous reaction is called electrolysis. To smelt aluminum, the only ways is though electrolysis.
