FAQ
ACCU AND BATTERIES
1. What does the Ni-MH abbreviation mean?
Ni-MH - it is a symbol for a nickel-metal hydride battery.
2. What is memory effect?
It means that batteries lost their capacity and the ability to regenerate, when they are charged again before discharging completely.
3. What does battery capacity influence?
The greater a battery's capacity, the longer the working time of the device using it.
4. How is battery capacity measured?
Normally the information about its capacity is given in milliampere-hours, that is mAh.
5. Characteristics of Zinc-carbon batteries.
Zinc-carbon have been in use from the 60's of the XIX century and were practically the only kind of batteries used until the outbreak of the II World War. Despite slowly making room for alkaline batteries, to this day they remain the batteries that power the greatest number of portable devices 0 it is because of their low cost and general availability.
6. Characteristics of alkaline batteries
The name of alkaline batteries comes from the solutions used in them as electrolyte.
Introduced onto the market in the beginning of the 60's of the XX century, they quickly gained popularity, this trend is visible with the rise in popularity of devices with large power consumption.
Alkaline batteries are characterised by better parameters than Zinc-carbon batteries - greater energy density, longer use-by date, leaking resistance, better efficiency during continuous and intermittent work, lower internal resistance allowing to drain more power and functioning in a broader range of temperatures.
7. In what devices are used Zinc-carbon batteries?
Application: torches, toys, clocks, remotes, electronic games, radios, alarm clocks - generally devices with low power consumption (approximately up to 100mA).
