Duh, Current NEVER flows through the battery. A battery stores and releases
electricity
chemically. There is no circuit passing through the battery. The only circuit

external to the battery. View a battery as a gasoline tank gas (electrons)
can be added
to the tank or removed from the tank. It's a storage device and not a pipe of
some sort
that has flow one way or the other inside it.

Note how current flow is only shown to be reversed in the circuit outside the
battery when charged. Never, at any time is there any such corresponding flow
or circuitry inside the battery. There is but a series of plates and an
electrolyte
that stores or releases electrons. A battery is a tank and only a tank. It is
not
a circuit.

It is obvious from the above that CN, has absolutly no intelectual
knowledge of how wet cell batteries work, and the chemical reactions
that are involved, in both the charging and discharging of said wet cell
batteries.

He says that electrons are put into a wet cell battery during charging
and then they are released from said battery when discharging to preform
work at the load.

Now, we who have been wondering about his state of Education, surmise
that he never got out of Grammar School, and has a Grammer School
Inteligence view of the Laws of Physics and Chemistry.

Since this is now, obviously the case, it will serve all the rest of us
here to just let him go on thinking that his view is correct, for it
does work for him, and we can move on to weightier questions.

No amount of Posts are ever going to bring CN, into the real world,
because he doesn't have the education to understand the chemical
reactions, and Laws of Physics that apply to the subject at hand.

His simplistic view of the world, works for him, and he see's no reason
to educate himself otherwise. The rest of us know better, but there is
just "NO Hope of charging his brain with the required knowlege". To
high of "Internal Resistance".


You haven't read the post where I clarified your above misconception by
explaining lead/acid batteries don't store electrons per se but use
electrons provided in the charging process to drive chemical reactions
that change the composition of the plates and set them up for chemical
reactions in the other direction that changes the composition of the
plates back with an attendant release of electrons via the chemical
reactions. One could say electrons are stored vicariously.

Ahhh, but that is not what you posted....
and that is a very simplistic view of the actual Chemistry, and Physics
involved here...and it also doesn't go to the OP's orginal question, and
your claim that wet cell batteries individual cell charge state will
self-level between cells connected in series by discharging under load.
This is ONLY true when the cells are COMPLETELY discharged, and they are
DEAD FLAT. At that point they are all equal, and not before.
