The Leading Developments in Next Generation Batteries
https://makerv2.webteractive.co/blog/the-leading-developments-in-next-generation-batteries
Batteries are the subtle powerhouses behind modern electronics. They function essentially to provide startup currents to varying loads and store charges to provide reserve power for portable or grid-scale operation. Lithium-ion batteries, which are the predominant type, pose a number of issues for devices including overheating, limited charge/discharge cycles, and safety concerns.
