We have come to rely on batteries a great deal, helping us keep mobile and do away with cumbersome cables and wires. Batteries are used everywhere - in toys, mobile phones, hospitals, calculators, cars, PCs, radios and laptops to name a few.
A battery can be crudely described as a vessel containing an electrolyte and two electrodes. The interaction between the two electrodes and the electrolyte produces electricity as a result of electrons leaving one electrode and travelling through the electrolytic solution and wire to the other electrode. The chemical composition of the electrodes and electrolyte varies between battery designs, and affects the batteries capacity, charge life and portability.
