Performance Specifications




   Voltage
 
     This is the nominal battery voltage.
 
   Search Logic:      User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.
   Capacity, Amp Hours (AH)
 
     Capacity in ampere hours (AH) is the amount of time, from discharge start to finish, multiplied by the discharge current.
 
   Search Logic:      All matching products will have a value greater than or equal to the specified value.
   Operating Temperature:
 
     This is the full-required range of ambient operating temperature.
 
   Search Logic:      User may specify either, both, or neither of the limits in a "From - To" range; when both are specified, matching products will cover entire range. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.
Battery Type




           
   Your choices are...
 
      
 
   Disposable (Primary) Batteries
 
     Primary batteries are disposable because they cannot be recharged. Energy is exhausted as materials are consumed.
 
   Rechargeable (Secondary) Batteries
 
     Secondary batteries are rechargeable. They contain active materials that are regenerated by charging.
 
   Lead Acid Batteries
 
     Lead acid batteries are rechargeable batteries that represent about 60% of battery sales worldwide.  All lead batteries perform the same set of reactions and use the same active materials. At the positive electrode, lead dioxide (PbO2) is converted to lead sulfate (PbSO4). At the negative electrode, sponge metallic lead (Pb) is also converted to lead sulfate (PbSO4). The electrolyte is a dilute mixture of sulfuric acid that provides the sulfate ion for the discharge reactions. Lead acid batteries are separated in two ways: application and construction. The major applications are starting (automotive), deep-cycle, and dual purpose (marine).  The major construction types are flooded (wet), gel cell, and absorbed glass mat (AGM).
 
   Reserve Batteries
 
     Reserve batteries separate the electrolyte from the rest of the battery in order to keep the electrolyte inert. Reserve batteries can have a shelf life of up to 20 years but perform almost instantly when activated.
 
   Search Logic:      All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.

   Specialty Cells       
   Your choices are...
 
      
 
   Nonstandard Cylindrical Batteries
 
     Batteries are nonstandard devices and cylindrical in shape.
 
   Prismatic Cells
 
     Prismatic cells have slightly lower energy densities than cylindrical cells and are more expensive to manufacture. The design of their venting systems may cause them to bulge if the battery is not used or charged correctly.  In this type of cell construction, the anode and cathode are inserted into a rectangular shaped case, with separators between them. This offers improved flexibility when designing battery packs and better use of space than the cylindrical construction method.      
 
   Coin Cell or Button Cells
 
     There are over forty different sizes of button and coin cells.  They are often used in devices such as watches and calculators.
 
   Sachet Cells
 
     Sachet or pouch cells are a relatively new packaging design. The hard casing that typically surrounds the electrodes is replaced by a flexible foil packaging that maximizes the use of space and reduces the weight of the device. Because they can be shaped to fit a specific space, foil pouches are often custom manufactured for special applications.
 
   Lantern
 
     Lantern batteries commonly use 6 V and are ANSI / NEDA 918A, 915A, and 908A.
 
   Thin Film
 
     Thin film batteries are very thin batteries that can be built into devices such as an integrated circuit, or a plastic card.
 
   Battery Packs and Assemblies
 
     Primary or rechargeable batteries packed together with a connector for cellular phones, camcorders, and cordless phones.
 
   Other
 
     Other unlisted, specialized, or proprietary specialty cells.
 
   Search Logic:      All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.
