There are two major types of household batteries (a) Primary batteries are those that cannot be reused. They include alkaline/manganese, carbon-zinc, mercuric oxide, zinc-air, silver oxide, and other types of button batteries, (b) Secondary batteries are those that can be reused secondary batteries (rechargeable) include lead-acid, nickel-cadmium, and potentially nickel-hydrogen.

Batteries are divided into primary batteries (used only once) and secondary batteries (rechargeable). The estimated 1989 U.S. market was 2.3 billion for primary... 

Zinc-air modules for EV application are under development at the Edison company in Italy and by the Electric Fuel Ltd in Israel. In this case, the battery recharge also includes a mechanical step, namely the removal and replacement of the spent zinc electrodes. The actual electrochemical recharging process is carried out in a remote station. The proposed application to passenger vehicles considers the construction of specific stations where the removal and replacement of the spent zinc electrode pack is carried out automatically (Fig. 9.19). Energy and power densities of the order of 200 Wh/kg and 100 W/kg, respectively, and long cyclability, which may provide the car with a 300 km range and a... 

Aluminum—air battery. A second potential application of this available energy is based on electrochemical oxidation of aluminum in air to produce electricity. In an aluminum—air battery, for example, thin coils of aluminum strip may be used as the fuel. No elech ic battery recharging would be required since the aluminum is consumed to generate the electricity directly. This fuel would not give off fumes or pollute and could be stored in solid form indefinitely. If this concept materializes into commercial viability, it will provide the energy needed for electric vehicles.

Batteries vary in size and chemistry. Shown here are an automobile lead-storage battery, rechargeable nickel-cadmium cells, alkaline cells, and zinc-carbon dry cells. 

By means of clever combinations of mechanical drive-trains with appropriate gearing and clutches, a single electrical engine may operate for propulsion/ acceleration assist of the ICE, for recuperation of braking energy, and for battery recharge. This would save both weight and cost. The battery may supply electrical...
