Battery Chemistry Animations

Three interactive animations showing what actually happens inside a lead-acid battery: the discharge reaction, the charge reaction, and how the built-in hydrometer reads state of charge.

Runs in any browser. Nothing to install.

Discharge Reaction

Watch electrons flow, sulfate migrate to the plates, and the electrolyte weaken as the battery gives up its charge.

Charge Reaction

See the process reverse as the charger restores the plates and regenerates the acid.
