Batteries in a Portable World by Isidor Buchmann fills a definite need for practical information about rechargeable batteries. Quite often, performance specifications for batteries and chargers are based on ideal conditions. Manufacturers carry out battery tests on brand new equipment and in a protected environment, removed from the stress of daily use. In Batteries in a Portable World, Mr. Buchmann observes the battery in everyday life in the hands of the common user. By reading Batteries in a Portable World, you will acquire a better understanding of the strengths and limitations of the battery. You will learn how to prolong battery life; become familiar with recommended maintenance methods and discover ways to restore a weak battery, if such a method is available for that battery type. Knowing how to take care of your batteries prolongs service life, improves reliability of portable equipment and saves money. Best of all, well-performing batteries need replacement less often, reducing the environmental concern of battery disposal. Batteries in a Portable World is easy and entertaining to read, and makes minimal use of technical jargon. The well-organized layout helps you find information quickly. The book is tailored for the busy professional who needs a crash course in better understanding this marvelous power source, the battery.

This review is from: Batteries in a Portable World: A Handbook on Rechargeable Batteries for Non-Engineers, Second Edition (Paperback)
This book is very good for those who don't understand rechargeable and want a good starting point. It covers NiCd, NiMH, Lead Acid, and the Lithium Ion batteries quite well for the beginner.

Good review material, but now dated,

This review is from: Batteries in a Portable World: A Handbook on Rechargeable Batteries for Non-Engineers, Second Edition (Paperback)
This is a good book for the basic review of battery technologies. I (as an engineer) would have preferred more chemical and technical details, but as the title suggests, it is pretty basic, and consequently easy to understand. The fundamental problem with this book is that battery technology is rapidly evolving, and much has changed since the book was written in 2001. Maybe a third edition is forthcoming?
