Chart of Battery Sizes and Their Uses
------------------------------------------------------------
Direct current is a kind of electricity that is supplied by battery. By using a DC battery, the electric charge moves in a single direction. It can cause an imbalance to the electric charges.
The side of the DC battery is sealed with electrolyte and several forms of... [More...]

Note: 6 V, 9 V, and 12 V batteries are commonly made using multiple 1.5 V cells placed in series. When rechargeables (NiMH or NiCd) are used, the total voltage must be multiplied by 0.83 as a single cell is 1.24 V instead of 1.5 V.
