2. Nickel–iron battery - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nickel–iron_battery

   The nickel–iron battery (NiFe battery) is a rechargeable battery having nickel (III) oxide-hydroxide positive plates and iron negative plates, with an electrolyte of potassium hydroxide. The active materials are held in nickel-plated steel tubes or perforated pockets. It is a very robust battery which is tolerant of abuse, (overcharge ...

3. Betavoltaic device - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betavoltaic_device

   Betavoltaic device. A betavoltaic device (betavoltaic cell or betavoltaic battery) is a type of nuclear battery which generates electric current from beta particles (electrons) emitted from a radioactive source, using semiconductor junctions. A common source used is the hydrogen isotope tritium. Unlike most nuclear power sources which use ...

4. VRLA battery - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VRLA_battery

   A 12V VRLA battery, typically used in small uninterruptible power supplies and emergency lamps. A valve regulated lead-acid (VRLA) battery, commonly known as a sealed lead-acid (SLA) battery, [1] is a type of lead-acid battery characterized by a limited amount of electrolyte ("starved" electrolyte) absorbed in a plate separator or formed into a gel; proportioning of the negative and positive ...

5. Electric battery - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_battery

   An electric battery is a source of electric power consisting of one or more electrochemical cells with external connections [ 1 ] for powering electrical devices. When a battery is supplying power, its positive terminal is the cathode and its negative terminal is the anode. [ 2 ] The terminal marked negative is the source of electrons that will ...

6. Solid-state battery - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid-state_battery

   A solid-state battery is an electrical battery that uses a solid electrolyte for ionic conductions between the electrodes, instead of the liquid or gel polymer electrolytes found in conventional batteries. [1] Solid-state batteries theoretically offer much higher energy density than the typical lithium-ion or lithium polymer batteries.

7. Voltaic pile - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voltaic_pile

   The entire 19th-century electrical industry was powered by batteries related to Volta's (e.g. the Daniell cell and Grove cell) until the advent of the dynamo (the electrical generator) in the 1870s. [6] Volta's invention was built on Luigi Galvani's 1780s discovery that a circuit of two metals and a frog's leg can cause the frog's leg to ...
