  1. Batteries and Alternative sources of Energy What is a battery

  2. 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

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

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

  6. 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.
