Abstract

As the world increasingly comes to rely on electrical and electronic systems for its daily functions, it also becomes increasingly dependent on batteries. Electrical and electronic systems are becoming smaller and more efficient and batteries provide the key to portability. And, even with stationary systems, batteries are becoming increasingly important to provide memory backup or keep essential functions operational when the main power is not available. Not only has the world become more dependent on batteries in general, it has also come to appreciate the economy and reliability of rechargeable batteries. Improvements in battery technology are opening many new uses for batteries. The rapid development of markets such as portable electronics and cordless appliances and power tools has relied heavily on today's improved batteries. In a diversity of applications, creative use of batteries is translating directly into improved sales and increased profits. This chapter offers to introduce the two leading forms of rechargeable batteries: sealed nickel-cadmium and sealed-lead batteries. It aims to help users of these battery systems understand how to best apply them.
