Abstract

The Weaknesses of wet batteries that require extra attention in maintenance such as having to routinely check and add water batteries, less stable voltage, water batteries can spill out and damage the body of a car or motorcycle, and water batteries can cause itching and irritation when touched by the skin. This study aims to determine the potential of seaweed powder as a gel that is added to a wet battery and convert it into a dry battery. The method used is: data collection, concept design, manufacturing process, testing. The results of the study were obtained that the wet battery can function like a dry battery so that it does not need to refill the battery water anymore and the results of the battery voltage measurement using a multimeter show the number 12.6 volts.
