Document Summary

Thanks to my bike and the good weather lol. Voltage goes down as a circuit is used. Electrode runs out system is at equilibrium a. When we recharge a battery, we"re when you try to recharge them, the reverse reaction are not the ones that occure when you charge an alkylytic battery, the current reaction is spontaneous and the reverse reaction is not. This is one of the oldest batteries around and it is one of the strongest batteries around. This battery is really a set of 6 indicvidual cells connceted in series. Inside each individual cell is a solution of sulphuric acid. Dipped in the sulphuric acid is two plates. Anode of lead 2, cathode of lead 4. (anode = pb, cathode = pbo2). Now, we say lead 2 and lead 4 for conveniance. Manufacturer dope these plates with other materials in order to increase the surface area.
