What is a battery?
  • A battery is an electrical device that converts
    chemical energy to electricity. At this point,, I
    would like to state that batteries can be grouped
    into two many groups. These are
  • Primary
  • Secondary.
  • Primary cell batteries
  • These are batteries that are made in such a way
    that once you use them, they can't be recharged.
    In short primary batteries are disposable

4
Application of primary cell batteries.
  • As said earlier, this type of cell can not be
    recharged. This is because the chemical
    conversion of the batteries to electricity can
    not be reversed. Examples of primary cells are
  • Leclanche cell-These cells are used in Torches,
    transistor radio, and bells.
  • Mercury cell-These cell is being used in Hearing
    aids, medical electronics, cameras, and guided
    missiles.

5
Secondary cell batteries
  • As you can guess, these batteries are made in
    such a way that once they lose the charge, they
    can be recharged.
  • These battery cells are rechargeable. This is
    possible because the conversion of chemical
    energy to electric energy is reversible and the
    cell can be used many times. Examples of
    secondary cells are
  • Lead-acid cell
  • Nickel-cadmium cell and Nickel-metal cell.

6
Application of secondary cell batteries.
  • Car batteries
  • Telephone circuits
  • Forklift
  • Delivery van.

ALTERNATIVE AND RENEWABLE SOURCES OF ENERGY
  • Alternative energy.
  • An alternative source of energy is any source of
    energy that can replace the traditional sources
    of energy. Like gas, coal and oil that can harm
    and pollute the ozone. traditional sources of
    energy tend to increase the atmospheric carbon
    when banned as fuel.
  • Renewable energy.
  • A renewable source of energy is a source that is
    automatically replenished or one that doesn't get
    depleted as it is being used. Renewable sources
    of energy can be said to be infinity.
