Battery fluid

If maintenance is performed, there are two principal maintenance strategies preventive and breakdown maintenance. These are not mutually exclusive, and may be combined even in the same piece of equipment. Take for example a private motor car. The owner performs a mixture of preventive maintenance (by adding lubricating oil, topping up the battery fluid, hydraulic fluid and coolant) with breakdown maintenance (e.g. only replacing the starter motor when it fails, rather than at regular intervals).

Aqueous corrosion is most readily understood in terms of a dead-shorted battery or electrochemical cell consisting of two half cells (Fig. 1.5). In comparison with the battery, the solution or electrolyte above the corroding metal is the battery fluid, and the metallic path between the anodic site (exposed metal) and the cathodic site (for example, an area of adherent-conducting oxide) is the external circuit. At the anodic site, the net oxidation reaction is M —> Mm+ + me, and at the cathodic site, the generalized net reduction reaction is Xx+ + xe —> X. As a consequence of the transfer of ions and electrons at each interface, differences in electrical potential, A( )a and A(f>c, develop between the metal and the solution at the anodic and cathodic sites, respectively, where...

An electrolyte, a semi-solid or liquid syn. battery fluid) that allows conductivity (transport of ions) between the electrodes of the cell. 

Batteries that require a liquid electrolyte are called wet batteries. Corrosive battery fluid refers to either acid electrolytes syn. battery acid, like the common lead-acid automobile battery which uses a solution of sulphuric acid, or alkali electrolytes syn. alkaline corrosive battery fluid, like potassium hydroxide (1310-58-3) solutions in nickel-cadmium and other alkaline battery systems. Dry batteries or dry cells, like all primary batteries, use electrolytes immobilized in pastes, gels, or absorbed into separator materials. Some batteries are loaded with a dry, solid chemical (e.g., potassium hydroxide) which is diluted with water to become a liquid electrolyte. The hazards associated with handling and transportation prior to use are thereby reduced. 

Applying Ideas In lead-add batteries, such as your car battery, the degree of discharge of the battery can be determined by measuring the density of the battery fluid. Explain how this is possible.

Battery fluid is very aggressive towards aluminium. That is why components in aluminium alloys (especially on small crafts) must be protected against the spilling of battery fluid. 

Specific gravity is one of the few unitless values you will encounter in chemistry. An instrument called a hydrometer is often used to measure the specific gravity of fluids such as battery fluid or a sample of urine. In Figure 2.12, a hydrometer is used to measure the specific gravity of urine.
