TYPES OF BATTERIES

lead acid

These are the most common type of batteries used in automobiles and to store solar energy because they can provide high current and their cost is relatively low. They store only about 25 watt-hours per kg. Each cell consists of lead electrodes in a sulfuric acid solution. One lead electrode is coated with lead oxide. Connecting 6 of these cells in series gives a 12 V battery.

Deep cycle batteries have thicker electrodes than the standard starter batteries. Gel batteries and sealed lead-acid batteries are commonly used to store solar electric energy for off-grid applications

Lithium-Ion

Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH)

The metal of a nickel-metal hydride battery is an intermetallic, AB5, where A is a rare earth mixture of lanthanum, cerium, neodymium, praseodymium and B is nickel, cobalt, manganese, and/or aluminum. They store about 100 watt-hours per kg and are much more thermally stable than the lithium-ion batteries. Some have been developed for hybrid vehicles.
