Batteries
, 1.58 V. And in all the batteries, closed-circuit voltage declines gradually with depth of discharge. Dry-cell batteries are not rated in ampere-hours because efficiency varies with current drain, operating frequency, temperature, and storage conditions prior to use. And acceptable levels of cutoff...

Get Charged Up About RFID Battery Options
. Primary battery types are themselves classified according to the chemical system by which they store and release electrical energy. The major classes are LeClanche (the traditional zinc/carbon/ammonium chloride "dry cell" type), alkaline (widely used in consumer applications), zinc-air (for hearing aids...

Why aren't software houses pilloried for bad products?
. "Exactly how do you refresh a battery?" I asked one of our tech-support superstars. "You put it in this device here, and it becomes refreshed," he explained. "Yes, but that makes it sound as though the tooth fairy has something to do with it. What physical mechanism refreshes a dry-cell battery?" I...
