Question by Mark N: What is the difference between a battery and a acumulator?
I would like to know with scientific base what is the difference between the two. I know that a battery cannot be recharged (the kind we use for our portable radios and flashlight that you have to throw away after depleted), and a accumulator can be recharged (like a car “battery” – wrongly named?).
Best answer:
Answer by The One Who Knows (Swamy)
A battery is simply a collection of cells which may or may not be rechargeable. An accumulator is a rechargeable battery.
For example a 9V battery has 6 of 1.5 V dry cells connected in series to give 9V. It is not rechargeable. However a 12V Lead Acid battery will have 6 lead acid cells of 2V each so that we get 12V. And that will be an accumulator.

Question by 120: What do you think about the “Who killed the Electric Car” documentary?
Could there be collusion among GM, Toyota, Nissan, Chrysler, etc, or rather -put it simply – the US Government told them “forget it and pull it off the Market; we cannot afford to lose Taxes”, kinda offer they could not refuse…?
Best answer:
Answer by what did i do to deserve this
I have not seen this documentary but I have long said that the replacement of the internal combustion engine dependent on petroleum-based fuel has been available for many years but has been kept off the market by exactly this means – US (and other nations) government influence on the ever willing auto companies to keep things the status quo. Govt will only allow alternate energy resources to exist as they learn to profit from them in taxes as they have been able to do so from gasoline, etc. They haven’t been able to figure out how to tax fuel made from other sources yet so they’ve prevented it from happening. Interesting that someone would do a doc on this subject.

Electric Car Popularity – Reasons People Prefer Electric Cars To Gas Cars
Electric cars are not a new concept as we think, people hve been using them for a long time .In fact in the 1900′s people used more electric cars than cars run on gas.In the 1920′s when the popularity for cars was growing, gas was very costly.Starting a gas run car was also a very tedious process, there was no key to ignite the engine, in fact a rod used to fit into the front of the car which had to be turned round and round to get the car started.
Not only were gas run cars tedious to start , they emitted alot of smoke and were very noisy, as either the mufflers used were not good or there were no mufflers at all. Beleive it or not , at one point of time electric cars were so popular that there were about 50,000 electric cars running on the streets of United States .
As new discoveries were underway to make gasoline cheaper, electric cars started disappearing from the market. The discovery of the electric starter made way for the exit of the crank and the car was started with a key.A car run on gas could travel more distance than the electric car.Thus cars run on gas started getting more pouplar than the electric car.
Now, once again because of the awareness towards protecting the environment and reducing the dangers caused by the emission of the greenhouse gases ” green ” electric cars are once again getting
popularized.
Gasoline is not used to run an electric car, it runs on the energy stored in batteries in the car. 12,14 or more batteries may be needed to run the car.The operation of the electric car is similar to that a remote controlled one since both have an electric motor that turns the wheel and a battery that that runs the motor.
Charging of the batteries can either be done all night or some cars need to be plugged into a standard electric wall.There are some which need a large electric outlet, something like what is used for an electric stove or electric clothes dryer. These are the various ways electricity is stored in the cars.
The batteries used to run the cars have to be either lead acid batteries, similar to those used in torch lights or ni-cad (nickel-cadium) used to run portable viodeo recorders or video games , only much larger in size. A lot of work is going on to upgrade the batteries to hold more energy and last longer. By the time the fifth graders in 2001 are ready to drive we should have electric cars which will be able to travel 150 to 200 miles before needing to get recharged.
Manufacturers of cars and scientists are making constant endeavours to make better cars which will be more eco-friendly. The revival of electric cars and the challenge to make them more attractive is on in a big way and enticing more people to switch over to electric cars.
