it depends entierly on what type of battery you mean. For the common battery like the AA's you find round your house they consist of zinc others have litium and batteries like your car have lead in them. you will also find potassium in many of the batteries

There are many rechargeable battery chemistries:

  • lead
  • nickel-cadmium
  • lithium
  • nickel-hydrogen (nickel metal hydride)
  • nickel-zinc
  • lithium-titanium
  • vanadium

All batteries contain metals of some sort or other. Metals conduct electricity and form the electrodes.
The electrolyte consists of dangerous and corrosive chemicals, so the containers surrounding the battery will be made of resistant materials, such as rubber, plastic, glass etc.
Most disposable or rechargeable batteries in common use, have a metal jackets around them, but this is insulated from the internal workings by plastic, cardboard or paper insulators.

Lead is the most common metal used in batteries, that is why they are so heavy.

Flashlight that docks in a charger to recharge two AA nickel cadmium batteries so can an you replace these batteries with cadmium metal hydride ones?

No, you should not replace nickel cadmium batteries with nickel metal hydride batteries interchangeably in a device designed for nickel cadmium batteries. They have different charging requirements and using the wrong type can damage the device. It is important to follow the manufacturer's recommendations for battery type.


Why Nickel metal hydride batteries do not suffer quite as much from the memory effect as do nickel cadmium batteries?

Nickel metal hydride (NiMH) batteries have a different internal chemistry compared to nickel cadmium (NiCd) batteries, which contributes to their reduced memory effect. NiMH batteries have less pronounced voltage depression during partial discharges, making them less susceptible to developing memory effect. Additionally, NiMH batteries exhibit better tolerance to overcharging and deep discharging than NiCd batteries, helping to mitigate memory effect issues.


What element is in low density metal used in batteries?

Lithium. Lithium has low density and is 3rd element in periodic table with mass of 6.941 g/mol. Lithium is used in different types of batteries, such as lithium-ion(Lion), Lithium-polymer(LiPo). Both are rechargeable.


The first alkali metal?

The first alkali metal is lithium, which is in the first group of the periodic table. It is a soft, silvery-white metal that is highly reactive and commonly used in rechargeable batteries.
