How to distinguish battery battery

The usual daily life is filled with useful details and devices. They make our life comfortable, technological and noticeably simplify many tasks. However, the work of most of them requires certain power sources. Stationary household appliances are most often equipped with a cord, smaller and mobile technique - batteries or batteries. When choosing a source of energy to the instrument, it should be borne in mind that the batteries have a certain resource, while the batteries can serve longer due to cyclic recharging. To distinguish one of the other, it is worth carefully studying the goods when buying. What to pay attention to?

The first thing that the battery is visually different from the battery is the designation of the capacity in milliamperes per hour (Mah). Most often, this inscription is large and immediately striking. The higher the specified digit, the longer the battery without a charger will be. Marking Ni-MH or Ni-CD clarifies the chemical composition of the battery. On the batteries information about the capacity is not displayed. On alkaline power sources, there is a "Alkaline" or "Battery" designation.

We pay attention to the price tag. The cost of rechargeable batteries an order of magnitude higher than the price of ordinary, and the greater power has a battery, the higher its cost. It also affects the number of recharging cycles. The exception may be lithium batteries - such energy carriers are denoted by the inscription "Lithium", have increased power, but still their use is excluded.

The fundamental difference between the battery is the possibility of repeated re-charging. This is said by the inscription "Rechargeable" (English - rechargeable). If the "Do Not Recharge" is specified (English. - Do not charge again), before you the battery.

If you can check the voltage of batteries using special measuring instruments - multimeter or voltmeter, you will receive a quantitative difference. The voltage of ordinary batteries is about 1.6 V, rechargeable - approximately 1.2 V.

You can distinguish the usual battery from the battery during operation. The battery functions until its charge is sufficient for the device. After her life can be extended, only by placing an adaptation to another tool, which requires less power. If the device's operation provides a battery, it will serve longer, discharge - gradually, and after full resource generating it will be enough to charge it using a special device - and the energy carrier is ready to perform its function again.

It is possible to determine the difference between the battery and the alkaline battery during the inspection by checking the presence of certain designations. If doubts still remain - it is worth seeking advice to the seller, if such in the store is available. It is worth remembering that the decision on the choice of the energy carrier for one or another instrument is made taking into account the intensity of its operation, the required power and conditions of use. In this question, it is better to adhere to the recommendations of the device manufacturer.
