Note(s) : This product is not available separately, it is only sold as part of a set. There
are 750 products in the set and these are all sold as one entity, Batteries are becoming
increasingly important in today's world of portable electronic devices, along with
the need to store electricity derived from solar and other renewable forms of energy,
and the desire to introduce electric and hybrid electric vehicles to reduce emissions.
Understanding Batteries is a must for all those seeking a straightforward explanation
of how batteries are constructed, their operation, and the factors determining their
performance and life. Beginning with a brief history of the development of batteries
and a discussion of their applications and markets, the book goes on to outline the
basic terminology and science of batteries. The different types of primary (non-rechargeable)
and secondary (rechargeable) batteries are then described and emphasis is given to
the importance of matching the battery to the intended application. Examples are given
to demonstrate how to define and prioritise the various criteria which comprise the
battery specification. Throughout, the chemistry is kept as simple as possible. Understanding
Batteries will appeal to a wide range of readers, including electrical equipment manufacturers
and users, engineers and technicians, chemistry and materials science students, teachers
and the interested battery user
