The book discusses in detail primary cells such as zinc-manganese, zinc-mercury oxide, zinc-silver oxide, metal-air, reserve, and lithium cells. You will learn about their principle of operation, construction, and applications in various devices, from watches to hearing aids. You will understand why some of them are more efficient and durable than others.

By delving into the topic of secondary cells, you will learn about lead-acid, nickel-cadmium, and nickel-iron batteries, as well as hydride, reversible zinc-manganese and lithium, zinc-nickel, reversible with silver oxide as a cathode, high-temperature, solid, REDOX, Supercapacitor, and hybrid rechargeable batteries. You will understand how charging and discharging processes occur and what factors affect their lifespan.

The last part of the book is devoted to fuel cells, which are the future of the automotive and energy industries. The author describes alkaline, polymer electrolyte, acidic, molten carbonate, solid oxide, methanol and other cells, along with their applications. Batteries used in electric vehicles are discussed in detail, with particular emphasis on fuel cells.
