 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.
