Battery technology has improved at an utterly incredible rate in the 21st century. Much as the Pony Express had its glory stolen by Morse's telegraph system after only a few years of being a revolution in long-range communication, nickel metal hydride cells had their 1990s spotlight usurped by lithium ion (Li-Ion) and lithium polymer (Li-Poly) cells. Li-Poly batteries have utterly revolutionized the portable hand tool and model aviation / car / boat industry. It is likely the technology that will finally wean us from the carbon-based land transportation habit. Here is a collection of some of the major players in the batter industry, for all chemistries including carbon cells, lead-acid, alkaline, and others.
