[HCRA] TECH Lithium Battery (Li-ion)

[Jim W]

Most people know that I have strong feelings about batteries and their
related charging methods (especially my boss who still shakes his head
but no longer argues).  

  

In the past month, I have been asked about my opinion of Lithium
batteries.  Frankly, they scare the devil out of me and I thought
that some of you might be interested in an English, down to earth
discussion as opposed to the reams of data and charts that I usually
have access to. Since I am not known for my simplicity,  I found such a writing  and thought I would pass
it on to you.  (you can skip the formula content if you wish)

  

Please, treat all batteries with respect, and dispose of them
properly. 

Here is a good link that is relatively accurate, current, clear, and conciset:

At the bottom of that article is another link to the polymer version
