3.1.1
[Single cell] cell
A power source that directly converts chemical energy into electrical energy is a basic functional unit consisting of electrodes, electrolytes, containers, terminals, and separators.
Note. The voltage of a single lead-acid battery is 2V. A battery with a nominal voltage of 6V is formed by connecting three single batteries with a nominal voltage of 2V in series.
A battery with a nominal voltage of 12V is composed of single batteries with a nominal voltage of 2V connected in series.
3.1.2
Valve-regulated lead-acid battery valve-regulatedlead-acidbattery; VRLAbattery
A sealed battery with a valve that allows gas to escape when the internal pressure of the battery exceeds a predetermined value.
Note. This battery cannot be refilled with electrolyte.
3.1.3
vented lead-acid battery ventedlead-acidbattery
The battery cover is provided with one or more exhaust devices capable of releasing gaseous products, and the acid mist is filtered through a non-direct discharge structure of the battery.
3.1.4
