Rectangular Lead Acid Batteries

Click a range to view online

5-1

Rectangular Lead Acid Batteries

Lead acid batteries are the oldest type of rechargeable battery. Despite having a very low energy-to-weight ratio and a low energy-to-volume ratio, they are able to supply high surge currents. The oxygen in the active material (lead dioxide) reacts with the hydrogen ions to form water, and the lead reacts with sulphuric acid to form lead sulphate. The ions moving through the electrolyte then create the current flow.

Features

• Voltage 6 and 12 V

Thermocouple Wire

Thermocouple extension wire is a hardwearing type of wire used for connecting a thermocouple probe to a readout instrument. Thermocouples are sensors that measure temperature across a wide range of applications in most industrial environments. Thermocouple extension wire is made from a lower grade of wire than that used in thermocouple probes, so it is more economical when used at length. It's typically made with color-coded (usually PVC) insulation applied to each wire leg. The negative lead is usually insulated in red and the positive lead is the color of the thermocouple. For added durability and flexibility, a metal overbraid is applied to the insulated wire. For PVC wire this is a tinned copper overbraid, and for PFA it's stainless steel. This added layer protects the wire against abrasion.
