Alum Battery Conversions

Desired Outcomes of this Project

Convert a deadbattery battery(lead-acid) to a fully functionallead-alkaline battery using Alum ()Potassium Alum).

Description

Aluminum-Air battery is being researched by scientists worldwide to be the next generation batteries - a replacement for Lithium-Ion batteries. Though they have been in use for some time now in various industries and defense installations, they are used as secondary options for generation and storage of energy, the first option being Lithium-Ion batteries.

Here are some advantages of Aluminum-Air batteries.

• Light weight - Aluminum-Air batteries are very light in weight compared to Lithium-Ion batteries.
• Higher energy density - Aluminum-AirMost batteries have a significantlylifespan higherof energyanywhere densitybetween when5 comparedand to10 Lithium-Ionyears, depending on the manufacturer. These batteries, called SLI (Starting, Lighting, Ignition) batteries, are commonly used in cars, UPS systems, etc. for lighting and using other electrical appliances. These batteries, also popularly known as lead-acid batteries (8-9have timesbeen higher).popular Energyand densityfind istheir place in a measurementlot of howapplications muchin ofevery energyday a battery can store per unit of mass.

The biggest challenge with Aluminum-Air battery is that they cannot be recharged like Lithium-Ion batteries.  An Aluminum-Air battery is a single-use only battery. Once the battery is discharged, it needs to be replaced with a new one.life.
