Term Definition
SealThe part of a cell that restricts the escape of solvent or electrolyte. Limits the entry of air.
 
Secondary BatteryA rechargeable battery.
 
Secondary CellsA cell capable of repeated use. Its charge may be fully restored by passing an electric current through the cell in the opposite direction to that of discharge, thus reversing the redox reactions.
 
Self DischargeDischarge that takes place while the battery is not in used or connected ( open-circuit condition ).
 
SeparatorThe permeable membrane that allows the passage of ions, but prevents electrical contact between the anode and the cathode.
 
Series ConnectionConnecting the positive terminal of each successive cell to the negative terminal of the next cell. Battery packs with higher voltages are created this way.
 
Shelf LifeFor a dry cell, the period of time (measured from date of manufacture), at a storage temperature of 21 degrees C (69 degrees F), after which the cell retains a specified percentage (usually 90%) of its original energy content.
 
Short-Circuit CurrentThat current delivered when the positive and negative terminals are directly connected.
 
Starting-Lighting-Ignition(SLI) BatteryA Starter battery. SLI batteries used in emergency lighting systems.
 
Stationary BatteryA battery designed for use in a fixed location.
 
Storage BatterySame as Accumulator; Secondary Battery.
