Common Types of Battery

A battery is an energy storage device. It stores electrical energy in the form of chemical energy. It is used to supply electrical energy to electrical appliances and electronic circuits. Here, we have listed all the common types of battery.

Common Types of Battery

Lead-Acid Battery (अम्ल युक्त ऊर्जा युक्ति)
Nickel Cadmium Battery (निकल कैडमियम से बनी ऊर्जा युक्ति)
Nickel Metal Hydride Battery (निकल मेटल हाईड्राईड से बनी ऊर्जा युक्ति)
Lithium-Ion Battery (लिथियम आयन से बनी ऊर्जा युक्ति)
Alkaline Battery (क्षार युक्त ऊर्जा युक्ति)
Silver Oxide Battery (सिल्वर ऑक्साइड से बनी ऊर्जा युक्ति)
Zinc Air Battery (जिंक से बनी ऊर्जा युक्ति)

Other Types of Battery

Magnesium Battery (मैग्नीशियम से बनी ऊर्जा युक्ति)
Mercury Battery (मरकरी से बनी ऊर्जा युक्ति)

Lead-Acid Battery (अम्ल युक्त ऊर्जा युक्ति)

It usually consists of lead plates and sulfuric acid solution. It is a type of rechargeable battery and is mainly used in households, automobiles, etc.

Nickel Cadmium Battery (निकल कैडमियम से बनी ऊर्जा युक्ति)

It usually consists of nickel and cadmium electrodes and a potassium hydroxide electrolyte. It is a type of rechargeable battery and is mainly used in power tools, electronics, medical equipment, etc.

Nickel Metal Hydride Battery (निकल मेटल हाईड्राईड से बनी ऊर्जा युक्ति)

It usually consists of nickel and metal alloy electrodes (such as corium, neodymium, vanadium, etc.) and a potassium hydroxide electrolyte. It is a type of rechargeable battery and is mainly used in electronics, hybrid vehicles, etc.

Lithium-Ion Battery (लिथियम आयन से बनी ऊर्जा युक्ति)

It usually consists of cobalt and graphite electrodes that contain lithium atoms and a lithium salt-based (such as dimethyl carbonate, ethylene carbonate, etc.) electrolyte. It is a type of rechargeable battery and is mainly used in electronics, automobiles, etc.

Alkaline Battery (क्षार युक्त ऊर्जा युक्ति)

It usually consists of zinc and manganese dioxide electrodes and a potassium hydroxide electrolyte. It is a type of non-rechargeable battery and is mainly used in toys, watches, electronics, etc.

Silver Oxide Battery (सिल्वर ऑक्साइड से बनी ऊर्जा युक्ति)

It usually consists of zinc and silver oxide electrodes and a potassium hydroxide electrolyte. It is a type of non-rechargeable battery and is mainly used in watches, aircraft, medical equipment, etc.

Zinc Air Battery (जिंक से बनी ऊर्जा युक्ति)

It usually consists of a porous zinc anode and potassium hydroxide electrolyte. It is a type of non-rechargeable battery and is mainly used in watches, hearing aids, etc.

Magnesium Battery (मैग्नीशियम से बनी ऊर्जा युक्ति)

It usually consists of magnesium and sulfur/carbon electrodes and magnesium salt base electrolyte. It can be a rechargeable or non-rechargeable battery. It is mainly used in military and aircraft radios.

Mercury Battery (मरकरी से बनी ऊर्जा युक्ति)

It usually consists of zinc and mercuric oxide electrodes and a potassium hydroxide electrolyte. It is a type of non-rechargeable battery and is mainly used in medical equipment, electronics, etc.
