Batteries for Low-Power Electronic Devices

Strict environmental regulations and guidelines have a great impact on battery use and its disposal, leading to greater interest in secondary batteries that can be recharged several times before their disposal. Mercury and other toxic materials have been barred from use in batteries because of health reasons and strict disposal guidelines. 

This section has discussed the current and emerging battery devices with an emphasis on specific energy density, cycle life, shelf life, and other critical battery characteristics. Specific energy density and cycle life are particularly dependent on applications and will vary with discharge rate, duty cycle, and operating voltage of the device.
