Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a cell, more particularly to a rechargeable cell that allows easier heat release and provides increased recharge capacity.
  • a cell is a device that generates a voltage and a current from chemical reactions, where the current is formed by the exchange of electrons at the end portions of conductive elements.
  • the cell can be divided into the primary cell, which cannot be recharged once it is depleted, and the secondary cell, which can be recharged.
  • Examples of rechargeable cells include lead-acid batteries, alkaline batteries, gas cells, lithium ion cells, nickel-cadmium cells, nickel metal hydride cells, polymer cells, etc.
  • the lead-acid battery is a type that utilizes electrochemical reactions, with lead peroxide used for the anode and lead used for the cathode. Dilute sulfuric acid having a specific gravity of about 1.2 is used for the electrolyte. This is a battery in which the chemical reactions are reversible, so that the battery can be recharged.
