| Box |
A part in form of plastic reservoir accommodating all components of the battery. |
| Battery Failure |
It is te case when the battery loses its functionality and is called as expired battery. Most of the time, failure of operation arising from loss of charge is perceived as expiration of the batter. The battery should be replaced if required after consulting with an authorized service center. |
| Battery Freeze |
Although called battery freeze in the sector, actually it is the electrolyde in it, not the battery, that gets frozen. If the battery is in discharge status, the freezing process accelerates. |
| Battery |
A generator which stores the electric power as chemical energy and reconverts this energy to electric energy again when a receiver is connected to its circuit, delivering it to the external circuit. |
| Cell |
A name given to the divisions in the battery box. There are 6 cells in total in 12V batteries. Each cell has electric current of 2V. |
| Charger |
Battery charger is a device supplying electrical energy to a battery. |
| Central Degassing System |
A system ensures that the gases emitted from the cells are collected and discharged through a single route. |
| Cold Cranking Amper |
It is the discharge current represented in Ampere(A) which provides 7.5V voltage which a fully charged battery reaches by the end of 10 seconds at a temperature of -18 oC It may be defined by norms such as DIN, EN, IEC, SAE, JIS, TS, etc. |
| Curing |
A thermal process applied for the electrodes in the battery to complete chemical conversion. |
| Corrosion |
A failure occurs as a result of waiting for long time without charge or deep discharges; it is also called sulfatation. |
| Connector |
It is a connection element. |
| Capasity Loss |
It is the state when the battery delivers a capacity value below the capacity indicated on the label. |
| Capasity |
It is defined as amperhour. It indicates total power that can be drawn from a battery in ampere. Capacity of the battery depends on the surface area and number of the plates and permeability of the separators used. |
| Cycle |
It is charge and discharge of a battery. |
| Cycle Life |
It is charge-discharge cycle number of a battery. |
| Current |
Electric current represents the electric power flowing through an electric circuit. Its unit is "Ampere (A)" |
| CCA (Cold Cranking Amps) |
The current for driving (the vehicle engine) in the cold. |
| Explosion |
A failure occurs when the hydrogen gas in the battery gives damage to the box-cover as a result of arc, etc. |
| Exmet |
A grill type production. The lead bullions are made into strips, taking form of grill by method of rolling method on exmet machine. |
| Energy Density |
It is the amount of energy that unit weight of a battery can deliver. |
| Energy |
Capability of performing work. As the working principle of the battery, it converts the electric energy to chemical energy and the chemical energy to electric energy. |
| Electrode |
Positive or negative ion charged plate that ensures formation of polarity in the battery. |
| Electrolyde |
It is a form of the pure acid diluted with distilled water. Final density value optimized for high cycle number, low corrosion and maximum conductivity in the batteries is 1.285 g/cm3. |
| ELA |
A name given to the enhanced lead acids (Enhanced Lead Acid) |
| Pure Water |
A compound with densitiy of 1 gr/cm^3, consisting of 2 hydrogen and 1 oxygen atoms. |
| Positive Plate |
Positively charged electrode. |
| Positive Pole |
Terminal having positive polarity in the battery. |
| Polarity |
Polarization |
| Plate |
A framework on which is mostly made of lead on which the active agent is applied. |
| Paste |
Pulp applied to the plates as a result of mixture of the chemicals. |
| Parallel Connection |
Batteries may be connected parallel in the charging process performed by the charge. In the case of parallel connection, the currents should be summed up and the charger should be adjusted accordingly. |
| Plate Group |
It is the name given to the state of the matched positive and negative plates with envelope separator joined with lead welding. |
| Plug |
A material made of acid-resistant polypropylene and designed to automatically emit the gas during charge of the battery. |
| Sulfatation |
The failure which occurs when sulphate ions in the electrolyde inside thi battery accumulate on the surface of the plate. |
| Stationary |
Batteries used at the stationary facilities. |
| Start-Stop |
Start-stop is a system helping to prevent loss of energy where it automatically switches of the engine when thereis heavy traffic or at the traffic lights and switches it on again when the driver presses the clutch pedal. |
| Standard Capacity |
Capacity value indicated on the label of the battery. |
| Serial Connection |
Batteries may be connected parallel in the charging process performed by the charge. In the case of serial connection, the currents should be summed up and the charger should be adjusted accordingly. |
| Seperator |
PE, PVC, Glassmat, AGM which prevents the negative and positive plates from getting into contact with each other and short-circuting. |
| Shelf Life |
Storage time of a battery without the need of recharge. |
| Short Circuit |
A failure occurs when the positive and negative plates contact with each other. |
| Self Discharge |
It is loss of capacity of the battery over time when it is not connected to any load. |
| Sealed Lid |
It is the lid system preventing external intervention with the battery. |
| Silver Tin Alloy |
An alloy formed by mixing the silver and tin elements at certain rates. It increases resistance to corrosion at the battery grills. |
