Industrial application of rechargeable batteries. From cars to the aerospace industry.

The book provides an analytical overview of numerous electrochemical systems - non-aqueous (with liquid, polymer, or molten salt electrolytes) and aqueous rechargeable batteries, as well as discusses issues related to further improving battery design, manufacturing technology, developing new materials, and enhancing their reliability. This edition contains numerous examples of battery applications: backup power, auxiliary automotive equipment, automatic disaster notification, security, emergency, and fire alarms, rescue systems, portable medical equipment, uninterruptible power supplies, emergency lighting, measuring systems, monitoring and tracking systems, power tools. Special attention is given to the application of battery systems in space exploration - on satellites, launch vehicles, aircraft for planetary and space research. The book also demonstrates how new areas of application stimulate the creation of new or improved existing rechargeable batteries. The authorial team of the book consists of scientists and specialists from universities and research institutes in England, the USA, France, Belgium, Israel, Japan, and Italy. This monograph is intended for a wide range of specialists working in the field of electronics, is useful for engineers and university professors, students and postgraduates, bachelors, and masters.
