  1. 2. A type of battery that uses a thick paste-like electrolyte, resembling petroleum jelly, providing safety and reduced leakage.
  2. 4. An electromechanical device that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy, typically used to control the flow of electricity in circuits.
  3. 5. A device that allows for easy switching between different battery sources to meet varying power needs.
  4. 6. A type of rechargeable battery made up of lead dioxide (PbO2) and sponge lead (Pb), commonly used in both deep cycle and cranking batteries.
  5. 7. A type of battery designed to provide a steady amount of electrical power over an extended period, ideal for applications requiring prolonged energy consumption.
  6. 9. A measurement of a battery's ability to start an engine in cold temperatures, indicating the battery's starting power.
  7. 12. A safety mechanism that prevents electrical currents from exceeding acceptable levels, protecting circuits and devices from damage.
  8. 13. The process of restoring electrical energy to a battery after it has been discharged.
  9. 15. The total amount of electrical energy that a battery can store, typically measured in amp-hours (Ah).
  10. 16. A battery specifically engineered to deliver a quick burst of power, primarily used for starting engines.
  11. 17. A method of combining batteries where the positive terminals are connected together and the negative terminals are connected together, increasing capacity while maintaining the same voltage.

  1. 1. Absorbent Glass Mat battery, a type of lead-acid battery that is maintenance-free and provides high performance for cranking applications.
  2. 3. A battery that immobilizes the electrolyte by absorbing it into a fibrous glass mat, allowing for better performance and safety.
  3. 8. The process of releasing electrical energy from a battery to power devices or systems.
  4. 9. The gradual destruction of materials, typically metals, due to chemical reactions, which can affect battery terminals and connections.
  5. 10. A device that induces a forced overcharge in batteries, causing a chemical reaction that dislodges sulfate buildup from the battery plates into the electrolyte.
  6. 11. A method of connecting batteries where the positive terminal of one battery is connected to the negative terminal of the next, increasing voltage while maintaining the same capacity.
  7. 14. A conductive solution within a battery, typically made of acids or gels, that facilitates the chemical reactions necessary for energy storage.
