The pupose of this experiment is to test the temperature that a battery is stored in has an effect on how long it can last. In oder for this experiment to work I placed the two brands that I was testing, Energizer and Duracell, in three different temperatures. The temperature were 10 degrees, 20 degrees, and 70 degrees celcius. After storing the batteries in those temperature for two days they were placed in a Sega Game Gear and it was turned on. After repeating this process for three trials I recorded the data.
The average for the batteries tested in 10 degrees was 328 minutes; in 20 degrees the average was 289; and in 70 degrees the average is 317 minutes.
In conclusion one can state that the hypothesis
was both correct and incorrect. It was guessed that the batteries tested
in a temperature of 10 degrees celsies would last the longest and that is
correct. However the batteries tested in 70 degrees celsius did not last
the shortest. That was an incorect guess.
