Batteries act like mini, portable generators
Batteries start with chemical energy
The chemical energy is stored in chemical compounds
Electric chemical cells convert chemical energy into
electrical energy
Batteries
• Luigi Galvani created he first batteries on accident when
he was studying the anatomy of a frog. He used a brass
hook to hold the leg and touched it to a iron railing and
noticed the leg muscle twitched.
• The first modern batteries were layers of iron, zinc, and
paper soaked in salt water.
The First Battery
• Several cells are stacked together make a batteries
• Modern batteries are single Electrochemical cells
Electrochemical Cells
• An electrochemical cell in which the electrolyte is a
liquid is a wet cell.
• A dry cell is a electrochemical cell in which the
electrolyte has the consistent of a paste.
Wet and Dry Cells
• You can recharge the cells by into valuable reactants.
• The reactants in a rechargeable battery are made from
nickel and cadmium.
