Healthy habits of battery treatment. 1 Strictly Confidential 1 Principles of chemical power source R + Cathode Vch Vdis eElectrolyte C+ Vdis Vch Cathode is aggressive oxidizing agent (like oxigen, MnO2, NiO(OH)). It really likes to rip electrons from anything near it Anode is a willing donor of electrons, a reducing agent like hydrogen, Zn, Cd, Pb. It has excess electrons to give. Anode - When both are electrically connected, spontaneous electron flow fr……
