CADMIUM ELECTRODE FOR STORAGE-BATTERY TESTING (CLASSIC REPRINT)

Excerpt from Cadmium Electrode for Storage-Battery TestingIn the operation and testing of storage cells it is frequently important, particularly In cases of low capacity, to know the indi vidual potentials of the positive and negative plates of the cell. No standard method of measuring the. Potentials of storage battery plates is recognized in the industry, but for many years the most common method has consisted simply in measuring, with an ordinary voltmeter, the potential difference between either plate of the cell and a piece of cadmium metal dipping into the electro lyte of the cell. Since the resistance of different voltmeters in common use varies over a Wide range, it Would not be surprising if different results were obtained with different voltmeters. Cer tain-instances have been called to the authors attention in which the sum of the cadmium-positive and cadmium-negative potentials is less than the cell voltage.Since the Bureau of Standards requires for test purposes more accurate information about the reliability of this method, this investigation was undertaken to obtain experimental data. Which would give the information desired.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
