It is impossible to imagine our life without the use of various electrical appliances. For their performance, various types of power supply are used. The most popular are batteries and rechargeable batteries, you need to be able to distinguish between them.
Instructions
Step 1
Please read the specifications on the battery pack carefully. When denoting the energy intensity of this type of device, a milliampere (mAh) meter is used - this means that it is a battery. The energy capacity is not indicated on the battery packaging. Look for "Rechargeable" in the description. If it is, there is a battery in front of you. When it says "Alkaline", you are holding a high-capacity alkaline battery.
Step 2
Ask your dealer about the possibility of recharging the selected battery. According to its technical characteristics, the battery lasts longer, as it has the ability to recharge. The battery cannot be recharged, which should be confirmed by the inscription "Do not recharge". It already carries the charge of the molecules of the electric fluid and until it runs out, the battery will generate electricity.
Step 3
Measure the voltage of your chosen element. The battery will have a lower reading than the battery. The normal voltage value for a battery is 1.2 volts (V), on a battery 1, 6. This characteristic can also be found on the packaging of the selected device.
Step 4
During operation, check the time during which the battery charge is kept. The battery is discharged gradually over a longer period. It is very difficult to discharge a battery to the end, due to the fact that devices powered by battery power cease to function after the voltage in it drops to a level that is not enough for power. If your player, calculator, remote control, or any other device starts to work poorly, the screen dims, or it does not turn on at all, there is a high probability that the battery has insufficient voltage and needs to be changed.
