INTRODUCTION
Storage batteries do not store electrical energy, but convert electrical
energy into chemical energy which is slowly accumulated as the
charge progresses A battery in use is said to be on discharge
During discharge, the chemical energy stored in the battery is converted
into usable electrical energy
A lead-acid motive power battery supplies direct current (DC)
power to electric lift trucks, tractors and pallet trucks This type of
battery consists of a metal tray containing cells, connected in series
These batteries come in a wide variety of shapes, sizes, voltages
and ampere-hour capacities
Each cell in a motive power battery contains positive and negative
plates All of the positive plates are joined in parallel to the positive
post and strap, to form a positive group The negative plates also are
joined in parallel to the negative post and strap to form a negative
group These groups are separated and insulated from one another
and they are immersed in a solution of sulfuric acid and water, called
electrolyte These groups of plates, separators, posts and straps are
called an element and it is contained in an acid-proof plastic jar
