Abstract :
New and improved battery chemistries offer distinct advantages over older systems, but none provide a fully satisfactory solution to portable power. In this paper we examine the advantages and limitations of new and old battery chemistries (Ni-Cd, Ni-MH, and Li-ion) in terms of cycle life, load characteristics and market applications
