Chemistry
Have you ever wondered what are the chemicals in a battery? Or what are the chemical reactions that happens in it?, I think none of you even thought about it, that's why we are here today to give you a background around it, and I know that some of are saying that nowadays we don’t use it much, however we must inform you of what is happening each time you hold a battery.
Lets start with the energy that's in the battery, there are shapes and sizes for batteries , we use it in clocks, computers, cellphones, and more. The batteries have chemical energy and turn it into electric energy, of course all the batteries are made of four parts:
1. positive electrode is a chemical like carbon that allow electric flow to be generated or produced .
2. negative electrode, like zinc also allows it to be generated or produced .
3. An electrolyte which is a solution (a liquid with something dissolved in it) that conducts electricity.
4. A separator which is a material that isolate or separates the positive and negative electrodes ( a conductor through which electricity enters or leaves an object, substance).
Batteries are made from chemicals found in minerals. Most of these minerals are heavy metals, which can be poisonous even in very small amounts.

now it's time to introduce types of batteries:
1). Primary batteries are non-rechargeable and disposable , therefore cannot regenerate electricity , are often used when long periods of storage are required, as they have a much lower discharge rate than secondary batteries , often used in smoke detectors, flashlights, and most remote controls.
2). Secondary batteries are rechargeable, like this cellular phone battery, secondary batteries are reversible, rechargeable batteries need electrical source to recharge them after they have expended their energy, often used in car batteries and electronic devices.
The capacity of a battery:
- Primary batteries can lose around 8% to 20% of their charge over the course of a year without any use.
- Secondary batteries self-discharge even more rapidly. They usually lose about 10% of their charge each month.

Common battery chemistries include:
- Zinc-carbon battery: is common in many inexpensive AAA, AA, C and D
- Alkaline battery: is also common in AA, C and D
- Lithium-ion battery (rechargeable):is often used in high-performance devices
- Lead-acid battery (rechargeable):used in a typical car battery
But now the important question, do batteries concern your health?, well the researches say that batteries are safe, but batteries contain acids and heavy metals, that may pass electric current to damage or kill tissue (any of the distinct types of material of which animals or plants are made, consisting of specialized cells and their products). , and there are signs to know if the chemicals are inside of you, either Redness or in mouth with the lips and also tongue, or your teeth become Discolored teeth either black or grey, or continual swallowing, drooling, or pain in the body.
So now that you know what's in the battery, and what it cause, come with us and help us to free our bodies from these poisoned chemicals, let's work and together to build a better healthier greener future for the next Generations, and not set here and like it's not our problem, and no matter what's your choice we'll always hear you voice.
