CHAPTER - 1 INTRODUCTION TO BATTERIES An electrical battery is one or more electrochemical cells that convert stored chemical energy into electrical energy. Since the invention of the first battery in 1800 by Alessandro Volta‚ batteries have become a common power source for many household and industrial applications. Batteries are represented symbolically as follows Fig. 1(a) Symbolic view Fig.1(b)conventional battery Electrons flow from the negative terminal towards

When an ion gains or loses electrons without becoming neutral‚ its electronic charge is altered in the process. In chemistry the loss of electrons is called oxidation while electron gain is called reduction. The first battery was created in 1799 by Alessandro Volta . Today batteries provide the power for an amazing variety of devices‚ everything from flashlights to robots‚ computers‚ satellites and cars. Inventors and researchers
