二次電池技術(shù)提供能量存儲(chǔ)的折衷方案

　　主要有四種類型的可充電電池供電，現(xiàn)在普遍使用的電子電氣設(shè)備：密封鉛酸電池；鎳鎘（NiCd）電池；鎳氫（NiMH）電池和鋰離子電池。它們各自都有各自的特點(diǎn)，但也有一些共同的特性。

　　大多數(shù)電池化學(xué)成分在供電方式上是非線性的。電池的容量與它所提供的電流有關(guān)；通常，電池的電流越大，電池的有效容量就越低。例如，電流為5毫安時(shí)，電池容量可能為1000毫安。然而，同一電池的容量為500毫安，電流為200毫安。

　　Further， the chemistry and construction of a secondary cell have a strong bearing on the way in which it can be recharged and discharged and its ability to sustain a high enough voltage to power the circuit. Some chemistries can provide high discharge or charge rates， but their output voltages can drop quickly at some point， possibly beyond the ability of the load circuit to continue performing. As a result， the load is unable to use all the energy available. A further consideration is how quickly the energy can be restored to the battery once the main power supply has been reactivated， and whether the cell can be charged regularly or it is best to perform a deep discharge followed by a recharge.

　　The memory effect in batteries is particularly noticeable for NiCd cells， which suffer reductions in their useable capacity if they experience repeated shallow cycling. For example， if the interruptions to power are short lived and frequent and the batteries are recharged each time， the memory effect will lead to a fall in their effective maximum capacity.
