| Lead Acid |
| Still the most popular battery used today its main application is
for the automobile industry, although it has a growing number of other
applications. Its advantages are low cost, high voltage per cell and
good capacity life. Disadvantages are poor low temperature characteristics,
it is relatively heavy, and it cannot be left in a discharged state
for too long without being damaged. Related Batteries: Absorbent Glass

| Lithium |
| A primary battery (non-rechargeable) that is quickly entering mainstream
electronic designs, particularly in consumer, portable equipment and
non-volatile memory back up applications where small size, long life
and low cost are the primary requirements. Lithium batteries have
superior cold temperature performance and a shelf life of 5-10 years. |
