The <span class="yellowFade">battery</span> is usually charged by an <i><a href="http://www.elmechanismo.blogspot.com/what-is-an-alternator.htm" target="_blank">alternator</a></i> — a device that converts the mechanical energy from the engine into electrical energy. This energy is then used to prompt reactions within the electrolyte of the <span class="yellowFade">battery</span>, which is most commonly composed of lead oxide plates submerged in a mixture of <i><a href="http://www.elmechanismo.blogspot.com/what-is-sulfuric-acid.htm">sulfuric acid</a></i> and water. When a <span class="yellowFade">car</span> <span class="yellowFade">battery</span> is in use, the sulfuric acid reacts with the lead oxide plates, to form lead sulfate. Recharging the <span class="yellowFade">battery</span> involves reversing this reaction. In this way, the <span class="yellowFade">car</span> <span class="yellowFade">battery</span> is able to store energy chemically.<br /> <div style="text-align: justify;"> The <span class="yellowFade">car</span> <span class="yellowFade">battery</span> is used to power up a <span class="yellowFade">car</span> during ignition and provide energy for the lighting system. In petrol engines, it is also used to ignite the fuel; petrol engines, therefore, can not work without these auto batteries. Diesel engines may work without batteries, if the initial electrical energy is provided at ignition. Nowadays, the <span class="yellowFade">car</span> <span class="yellowFade">battery</span> is also being used to provide traction energy for the electric vehicles.&nbsp;</div> <div style="text-align: left;"> &nbsp;<iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dxlyDW0qsNAbJK5I3Oiv38WUcSo4zSYH1fmzaLl8z2fF2o_S5P2MTugK2GTsqomJg0OsxXdlUPQuk6V6EooWA' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div>EROMOSELE,M.A.http://www.blogger.com/profile/15637452627686225742noreply@blogger.com0Lagos, Nigeria6.4530556 3.39583336.3268311 3.2379048 6.5792801 3.5537618
