BATTERIES - AUTOMOTIVE IN DOHA QATAR

Batteries - Automotive Description: One of the components of the modern vehicle that has seen dramatic change in the last two decades is the automotive battery. We often say that the vehicle battery has changed more in the last 12 years than the prior 60 years. With that in mind, we thought this was a good time to look back at the history of the automotive battery as well as cast about for expert opinions on where batteries are headed in the next 20 years.Some scientists believe that evidence has been found supporting the theory that a battery-like device was used by the ancient Parthians, who ruled the area of what is now Baghdad in 200 BC. While digging railway lines in the 1930s in Baghdad, workers found 13cm long clay jars which, upon detailed inspection, appeared to resemble batteries. They were complete with a positive terminal (an iron rod) and a negative terminal (a copper cylinder) and it is believed that a vinegar-like solution was used as the electrolyte that allowed the chemical reaction necessary for battery operation. Not all experts agree that these clay pot devices were, in fact, batteries, nor is there consensus on what they would have been used for. That said, modern replicas have shown the ability to generate between 0.8V-2.0V with each pot. So, batteries may have had their start as long as 2000+ years ago.Fast Forward to the First Lead Acid Battery - Automotive Lead Acid Batteries While there were small steps taken in battery progress in the early 1700s, the next major moment in the evolut...
