Recreational vehicle owners will need an RV battery to provide their vehicle with power. RV batteries are lead acid devices that have a number of cells that manufacturers attach in a series. A cell emits about 2.1 volts of power. Therefore, a battery with 12 volts will feature six cells to produce 12.6 volts. Battery manufacturers make lead acid batteries from plates, lead and lead oxide. The elements are combined in an electrolyte substance that is a mixture of 64 percent water and 36 percent sulfuric acid. Keep in mind that lead acid batteries store electricity instead of creating it. Furthermore, the amount of charge that the power source can hold is based upon the size of the lead plates along with the electrolyte volume.

Current electric cars have less power than gasoline vehicles, and they are limited to round trips of just over 100 miles. New battery technologies may soon allow electric cars to drive up to five times that distance.
