If a lead-acid battery has 24 sub-cells, what is the overall voltage?

To determine the overall voltage of a lead-acid battery with 24 sub-cells, it's essential to understand how lead-acid batteries are configured. Each sub-cell typically produces approximately 2 volts. Therefore, when multiple cells are connected in series, their voltages add up.

In this case, if there are 24 sub-cells and each sub-cell generates 2 volts, the total voltage can be calculated by multiplying the number of sub-cells by the voltage per sub-cell:

24 sub-cells × 2 volts per sub-cell = 48 volts.

This calculation confirms that the overall voltage for a lead-acid battery with 24 sub-cells is indeed 48 volts. This configuration is common in applications where higher voltage is necessary for equipment operation, providing the needed power based on the requirements of the machinery being used.
