Key Concepts

-
Secondary Cells
Secondary cells are batteries designed for rechargeability. Unlike primary cells that are disposable, secondary cells can have their chemical reactions reversed by the application of an external electrical current, restoring their ability to provide power in subsequent uses.
Rechargeability
Rechargeability is the key property of secondary batteries that allows them to be recharged after discharge. This reversible process—where chemical reactions during discharge are undone by charging—enables these batteries to be used repeatedly, which is essential for modern portable devices and renewable energy storage systems.

7. When a battery cell is being charged, you observe that the charging current appears to be constant for a period of time while the voltage is increasing, and then the magnitude of the charging current decreases until it is essentially zero while the voltage is kept constant. Select all that apply: a. The battery cell's state-of-charge increases over the entire interval. b. This battery cell has undergone a constant-current constant-voltage charge profile. c. This type of charging profile is used to ensure that manufacturer-specified voltage limits are not violated, in order to promote safety. d. The battery cell is fully charged after the first period of time when the voltage has reached its maximum value. 8. Sulphation in a lead-acid battery occurs due to: a. Heavy charging b. Fast charging c. Trickle charging d. Incomplete charging 9. In the ideal case, the charging time for a 200Ah battery would be: a. 5 hours b. 15 hours c. 10 hours d. 20 hours 10. Consider the mobile phone lithium-ion battery cell shown below (both sides are shown). What is the 1C rate of the cell in (mA)? 11. The lower the discharge rate, the lead-acid battery capacity: a. Higher b. Lower c. Stable d. None of the above 12. Overcharging has a high adverse impact on: a. AGM Battery b. Lead Carbon battery c. Gel battery d. Air-Metal Battery
