This document discusses different types of battery technology. It introduces batteries and their components. There are three main types of batteries: primary cells which are not rechargeable, secondary cells which are rechargeable, and reserve batteries which have a long shelf life. Two specific battery technologies discussed are nickel-metal hydride batteries, which use metal hydrides as the anode, and lithium-ion batteries. Key characteristics of batteries include their emf, current, capacity, efficiency, cycle life, power density, and shelf life.

2. Introduction
 It is a device consisting of two or more galvanic cells
connected in series or parallel or both to obtain higer
potential
 An active Chemical Material which Convert into an
Electrical Energy.
 The size & design of battery varies from w.r.t. the
applications.

3. Components of Battery
 Anode Material/ Alloy: Oxidation
 Cathode Material/ Alloy: Reduction
 Separator : to avoid Electrical contact between two
Anode and Cathode electrodes
 Electrolyte: conducting ion moves between two
electrode

4. Types of Battery
Batteries are Classified into Three types:
1. Primary Cells
2. Secondary Cells
3. Reserved Battery
Primary Cells: the potential of battery as use of Free
energy of active material as long as present inside
the battery. These cell reaction are not reversible
and not rechargeable.
Ex: Dry cell (Zn-MnO2)

6. 2. Secondary Cells:
 Batteries are Rechargeable.
 The cell reactions are reversible so called reversible batteries.
 During discharging the cell works galvanic cell converting chemical
energy into electrical energy.
 During charging the cell works electrolytic cell by converting electric
energy into chemical energy, hence these batteries are called as
storage battery.
Ex: Lead acid Battery, Ni-Cd battery etc.

7. 3. Reserve Battery
 Reserve batteries are high current battery and long
shelf life.
 The electrolyte component of battery is
isolated(missing)
 These battery activated by contacting active isolated
component when ever need high potential.
 Used to deliver high potential for shorter periods of
time such as missiles, military applications etc.
 Ex: Zn-Ag2O- active material water.
 Mg-AgCl activated by water

8. Characteristics Of Battery:
 EMF
 Current: Current is a measure of the rate at which the
battery is discharging. Higher the surface area of the
electrodes, higher is the rate of reaction. Current is
measured in A.
 Capacity: total energy obtained until the end of battery
failure
 Efficiency
 Cycle life
 Power Density (w/Kg)
 Shelf Life

9. Nickel-Metal hydride battery:
Anode : MH such as VH2, Zr2, TiH2 as H2 Absorb or Desorbs
Cathode : Nickel oxyhydroxide NiO(OH)
Electrolyte : 5M KOH
Separator : Polypropylene

10. Nickel-Metal hydride battery:
 Secondary Battery

11. Li-ion Battery
