Abstract
People today are very familiar with different battery technologies, from small zinc-air button cells to AAA alkali cells to spiral wound lithium ion laptop batteries to fifty-pound lead acid batteries found in automobiles. This situation has come about because people rely heavily on battery power. Common battery applications include, for instance, power for cell phones, Sony Walkman, PDAs, laptop computers, Ipod players, digital cameras, and on and on. In sharp contrast, people today are much less familiar with capacitor technologies, although capacitors also store energy.
