Introduction
In this lab experiment, an AA Allmax battery and an AAA Allmax battery
were tested to determine the relationship between how batteries lose charge
over a certain amount of time due to usage. However, the batteries in this
experiment were supplied with a current to increase the time it would take to
almost completely discharge. Allowing to chart the lifespan of a batter in just a
short, allotted amount of time. While also simultaneously recording the
temperature of the batteries.

[3]
Equipment/Materials

 Allmax AA/AAA Batteries (One Each)

 Two Digital Multimeters

 Two pairs of banana leads

 Thermocouple

 Wire cutters/strippers

 Electrical tape

[4]
Equipment/Materials Cont.

 Stopwatch or Phone with a stopwatch

 Safety Box

[5]
Procedure

1. Place Both multimeters next to each other and set one meter to
read DC Volts, then set the other meter to read DC amps.

2. Next, connect one pair of banana leads to the meter reading DC


volt, putting one lead into the Hole with a V with a line over it and
then the other lead into the comm hole.
(ports 3 and 4)

3. Then, you want to take one lead from


the other pair of banana leads and
connect it to the comm hole on the exact multimeter from step 2.
Then, connect the other end to the comm hole on the other
multimeter. (Port a)

4. Take the other end of the banana lead connected to the comm
whole coming from the multimeter reading voltage and connect it
to the negative side of the battery.

5. Then, take the other end of the banana lead connected to the V
hole coming out of the meter reading voltage and connect it to
the positive side of the battery. (If necessary, use electrical tape to
secure banana leads to each end of battery terminals)

6. Next, take your thermocouple and place it so that it touches the


battery and can adequately read the temperature. (If needed, use
electrical tape to secure the thermocouple to the battery).

Procedure Cont.

7. Before data can start being recorded, get a stopwatch ready and
have some ways of recording data.

8. Have a table to record the batteries' voltage, current, and


temperature.

9. Once you take the other end of the lead coming off the A hole
from the meter reading, the current connected to the positive
terminal of the battery starts the stopwatch.

10. Both meters will start to show different readings, so make


sure to record those findings on a chart from all three devices
being used

Conclusion

This experiment was to show the relationship between two


different sets of batteries, how they lose charge over time, and how we
can also confirm the notion that energy is neither created nor
destroyed but is instead conserved into heat.
