Q

The average fully-charged voltage of an Edison storage cell is:

🔍 Key Concepts

• Edison storage cell chemistry (nickel–iron battery) • Typical cell voltages for common battery types (lead-acid, alkaline, nickel-cadmium, nickel–iron) • Difference between nominal voltage and voltage when fully charged

💭 Think About

• Think about what metal and electrolyte combinations are in an Edison storage cell and how that compares to a standard lead-acid cell used on many vessels. • Recall the usual per-cell voltage of a lead-acid battery and then compare whether the Edison cell is typically higher, lower, or about the same. • Consider which of the listed voltages is commonly associated with nickel-based rechargeable cells rather than lead-acid cells or dry cells.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify the chemistry of an Edison storage cell (it is not a lead-acid cell). • Check what per-cell voltage you normally use when calculating battery banks with nickel-based cells. • Be sure you are thinking of a fully charged average cell voltage, not just the nominal rating used for approximate calculations.
