Information about Battery Packs and Assemblies

Battery packs are constructed from two or more individual cells or batteries. The pack voltage is the sum of the individual cell or battery voltages. All cells or batteries in the pack must have the same capacity. Batteries are devices that translate chemical energy into electricity. Batteries are either of the primary (disposable) or secondary (rechargeable) types. Further classifications include; lead acid batteries, reserve batteries, and lithium batteries. Batteries come in variety of sizes and shapes to fit a wide range of applications.

Products & Services Related to Battery Packs and Assemblies

Disposable (Primary) Batteries

Disposable primary batteries are replaced once the energy supply is depleted. Their energy is produced when the materials within the battery react and are exhausted.

Industrial Batteries, All Types

Industrial batteries translate chemical energy into electricity.

Lead Acid Batteries

Lead acid batteries are made up of plates, lead, and lead oxide with a 35% sulfuric acid and 65% water electrolyte solution.

Lithium Batteries

Lithium batteries are primary batteries with a lithium anode. They are disposable.

Rechargeable (Secondary) Batteries

Rechargeable batteries or secondary batteries contain active materials that can be regenerated by charging. When the energy produced by rechargeable batteries drops below optimum efficiency, secondary batteries may be recharged in a couple of ways, depending upon their construction.
