  3. Direct Current Typical Battery Rating - How Long will they Last Pass out AA Cell C Cell AAA Cell D Cell This is like 4 different Size cups ofwater Flashlight 1.5 volts 1.5 volts 1.5 volts 1.5 volts 4 Amps Hours .2 Amps Hours .5 Amps Hours 2 Amps Hours 0.1 Amp If a flashlight pulls .1 Amp, how long will each battery last? Time = Amp Hours / Load in Amps D cell = Amp Hours = _____ = _______ hours Amps C cell = Amp Hours = _____ = _______ hours Amps AA cell = Amp Hours = _____ = ________ hours Amps AAA cell = Amp Hours = _____ = ________ hours Amps 2m 5m Pg 18

Direct Current Battery Types How Long will they Last AA Cell C Cell AAA Cell D Cell Flashlight 1.5 volts 1.5 volts 1.5 volts 1.5 volts 4 Amps Hours .2 Amps Hours .5 Amps Hours 2 Amps Hours 0.1 Amp If a flashlight pulls .1 Amp, how long will each battery last? Time = Amp Hours / Load in Amps D cell = Amp Hours = __4___ = __40__ hours Amps .1 C cell = Amp Hours = __2___ = __20___ hours Amps .1 AA cell = Amp Hours = ___.5__ = ___5____ hours Amps .1 AAA cell = Amp Hours = __.2___ = ___2____ hours Amps .1 1m 6m Pg 19

  5. Direct Current Cost of Batteries for the Same Output D Cell $ 1.50 Same as 8 – AA Cell 8x$.65 = $5.20 Same as 2 - C Cell 2x$1.10 = $2.20 2 Amps Hours 2 Amps Hours .5 Amps Hours .5 .5 .5 .5 .5 .5 .5 4 Amps Hours = = 8 x .5 = 4 Amps Hours Same as 20 X .2 = 4 Amps Hours 20 – AAA Cell 20 x $.45 = $ 9.00 = The more Batteries The more waste 2m 8m Pg 20

  6. Many Battery Types • Zinc-carbon battery - Also known as a standard carbon battery, zinc-carbon chemistry is used in all inexpensive AA, C and D dry-cell batteries. The electrodes are zinc and carbon, with an acidic paste between them that serves as the electrolyte. • Alkaline battery - Used in common Duracell and Energizer batteries, the electrodes are zinc and manganese-oxide, with an alkaline electrolyte. • Lithium photo battery - Lithium, lithium-iodide and lead-iodide are used in cameras because of their ability to supply power surges • Lead-acid battery - Used in automobiles, the electrodes are made of lead and lead-oxide with a strong acidic electrolyte (rechargeable). • Nickel-cadmium battery - The electrodes are nickel-hydroxide and cadmium, with potassium-hydroxide as the electrolyte (rechargeable). • Nickel-metal hydride battery - This battery is rapidly replacing nickel-cadmium because it does not suffer from the memory effect that nickel-cadmiums do (rechargeable). • Lithium-ion battery - With a very good power-to-weight ratio, this is often found in high-end laptop and cell phones (rechargeable). • Zinc-air battery - This battery is lightweight and rechargeable. • Zinc-mercury oxide battery - This is often used in hearing-aids. • Silver-zinc battery - This is used in aeronautical applications because the power-to-weight ratio is good. • Metal-chloride battery - This is used in electric vehicles 1m 9m Pg 21
