The race to produce more powerful longer lasting batteries is an on-going effort involving corporate giants and small start-up companies. For example:
This anthology is based on BCC, Inc.'s monthly newsletter Battery & EV Technology, which covers the full range of this rapidly evolving technology-from the tiny cells that power watches to giant batteries for utility load leveling. It keeps battery makers and users, electric vehicle developers, and industry watchers current on trends in materials, technology, systems, and concepts. Not surprisingly, battery technology will be one of the most significant growth areas for the next decade. From giant utility load leveling batteries to the cells that power heart pacemakers, developments are making batteries one of the most exciting technologies for investors. In addition this compilation also covers the following:
