Wet cell battery

We all know about dry cell batteries, which are the normal batteries we use for appliances like clocks, but have you ever heard of a wet cell battery?



Apparently, though this sounds ludicrous it actually is real. A wet cell battery is a battery using chemical reactions to create electrical energy. Its electrolytes are contained in a liquid.



A dry cell battery, on the other hand, has its electrolytes contained in a low-moisture past. Wet cell batteries are used as car batteries as they are inexpensive and rechargable.



So car batteries are wet cell batteries after all.



This is a close-up image of a wet cell battery and its components.












And this is a picture of an actual car battery
