Battery Charging – Methods, Advantages, & Disadvantages

Engineering hulk

There are mainly two types of charging methods in Automobiles namely constant voltage charging and constant current charging: Constant Voltage Charging: In this method, the charging voltage is kept constant throughout the charging process. In this method, the charging current is high at first, when the battery is discharged, and gradually drops off as the … Read more

Lead Acid Battery – Construction, Working, Advantages

engineering hulk

Definition: Batteries use sponge lead and lead peroxide to convert chemical energy into electrical energy. This type of battery is called the lead-acid battery. Lead-acid batteries are often used in power stations and substations because of their high cell voltage and low cost. Construction of lead-acid batteries The different parts of lead-acid batteries are shown … Read more

Alternator in Automobile Engineering

alternator

All alternators work on the principle of electromagnetic induction. According to this act, a conductor, magnetic field, and mechanical energy are required to generate electricity The main parts of an alternator are, apparently, a stator and a rotor. But, unlike other machines, in most alternators, the field exciter rotates and the armature coil becomes stationary. … Read more
