Batteries for Portable Devices provides a comprehensive overview of all batteries used in portable electric and electronic, as well as medical devices. These range from the cellular phone to portable CD and cardiac pacemakers to remote micro-sensors. The author looks at the behaviour of batteries in the conditions encountered in the above applications.

This easy-to-read book also contains useful information on topics rarely discussed in the field, such as battery collection, recycling and market trends.
