ACES (MOD 2) Flashcards
is a device composed of two or more cells that convert chemical energy into electrical energy
Batteries
It is considered as non-rechargeable battery
Primary Cell
It is considered as rechargeable battery
Secondary Cell
Its compact size and low weight make it ideal for use in several electrical devices that require a low power output to operate.
Primary cell
Other term for primary cell
Dry cell
Is the most commonly used primary cell
CARBON-ZINC CELLS
How many volts does carbon-zinc cells produce
One and a half volts
What material is the rod of carbon zinc cell made up of
Carbon
provide longer life than the less expensive carbon-zinc cell.
Alkaline cells
What material is the rod of alkaline cells made up of
Zinc
The container of alkaline cells is made up of
Manganese dioxide
The moist paste of carbon zinc cell is made up of
- ammonium chloride
- manganese dioxide
- granulated carbon
The alkaline cell’s container is immersed in
Potassium hydroxide
Why does alkaline cells produce more load current than carbon-zinc cell
Potassium hydroxide has a lower resistance than ammonium chloride.
excellent for use in tape recorders and other motor-driven devices.
Alkaline cells
Another type of alkaline cell. Is used in hearing aids, cameras, and other applications where the need for high capacity and small size outweighs their higher cost.
Mercury cells
What type of cell where its chemical action that releases electron flow is reversible.
Secondary cell
batteries consisting of secondary cells are called
Storage batteries
The most commonly used storage battery in aircraft is the
Lead acid
A typical lead-acid battery consists of how many cells
6-12
Each cell of the lead acid battery produces approximately how many volts
2.1
a rechargeable battery that uses nickel and cadmium as electrodes
NICKEL CADMIUM
Advantages of nickel cadmium
- higher energy density
- long cycle life
- wide operating temperature range
- quick charging
Disadvantage of nickel cadmium
- toxic
- temperature sensitivity
- low energy density compared to lithium ion
