A: Removing the battery lid exposes six cells that are separated by a plastic wall. Each of these cells generates approximately 2.1V of DC, bringing up the total voltage to around 12.6V. LED plate straps are welded together to connect each cell, slightly towering over each plastic wall.
Each plate strap is connected to several LED plates, which are formed into grid-type structures to maximize the surface area. These grids are then covered with a paste of lead oxide, which acts as a sponge that absorbs electrolyte fluid.
Electrolyte fluid is the term used to describe the acid solution in the battery, which is made up of 36% sulfuric acid and 64% water.
