Battery-Build lab
If you've never built a battery from scratch, you'll find it's an interesting project. The two 'classic' chemistry-lab batteries are:
If you've never built a battery from scratch, you'll find it's an interesting project. The two 'classic' chemistry-lab batteries are:
- the Daniell Cell (uses copper and zinc electrodes in sulfuric acid)
- the LeClanche Cell (the classic "dry cell" flashlight battery)
