Batteries are found everywhere! Found in
cell phones, computers, cars, ect. They have many sizes, shapes, and
functions. Each have a specific purpose along with pros and cons.

How It Works What happens in a battery is this: Electrons go from the positive anode to the negative
anode creating a circuit.
On their way, they can pass through a wire to a light bulb (in this example).
The electrons pass through giving the bulb electricity.

Dry-cell
These batteries are the most common and probably the simplest. We find them in appliances, remotes, and other small items.
These batteries are what completes their circuit and begin the flow of electrons.

These batteries are a bit more complex.
They actually consist of 6 batteries.
Each generating about 2 volts.
PbO2 + 4H+ + SO4-- + 2e-> PbSO4 + 2H2O
Pb + SO4-- -> PbSO4 + 2e- Those are redox
reactions!!

Lithium-Ion Batteries Found in laptops or phones. The anode in this type is carbon, which is
not unusual. What defines this type is the cathode: it is
made of lithium cobalt oxide. They are made of this because lithium can
hold lots of energy in atomic bonds. Pros: lightweight and efficient. Cons: very sensitive to extreme
temperatures, more expensive, and if failing they combust.

Implications. Why should we care?
Batteries are everywhere. Where can we find them?
The other option is either gas or electricity.
Surrounded by these inventions they directly impact our everyday lives.
