General Interest

Handbook Of Batteries, David Linden
Edited by battery experts David Linden, battery consultant and editor of the first two editions, and Dr. Thomas Reddy, a pioneer in the lithium battery field, Linden's Handbook of Batteries, Third Edition, provides you with authoritative information on the characteristics, properties, and performance of every major battery type.

 

Modern Batteries: An Introduction to Electrochemical Power Sources, Colin A. Vincent, Bruno Scrosati
Based on the successful first edition, this book gives a general theoretical introduction to electrochemical power cells (excluding fuel cells) followed by a comprehensive treatment of the principle battery types - covering chemistry, fabrication characteristics and applications.

 

Battery Reference Book, T R Crompton
Crompton's Battery Reference Book has become the standard reference source for a wide range of professionals and students involved in designing, manufacturing, and specifying products and systems that use batteries. This book is unique in providing extensive data on specific battery types, manufacturers and suppliers, as well as covering the theory - an aspect of the book which makes an updated edition important for every professional's library.

Battery Management Systems: Design by Modelling, H.J. Bergveld

Used Battery Collection and Recycling, G. Pistoia
This book covers all aspects of spent battery collection and recycling. The legislative and regulatory updates are addressed and the main institutions and programs worldwide are mentioned. An overview of the existing battery systems, of the chemicals used in them and their hazardous properties is made, followed by a survey of the major industrial recycling processes. The safety and efficiency of such processes are stressed. Particular consideration is given to the released emissions, i.e. to the impact on human health and the environment. Methods for the evaluation of this impact are described.

Portable/Rechargeable

Rechargeable Batteries Applications Handbook, Gates Energy Products
Represents the first widely available compendium of the information needed by those design professionals responsible for using rechargeable batteries. This handbook introduces the most common forms of rechargeable batteries, including their history, the basic chemistry that governs their operation, and common design approaches.

Batteries in a Portable World: A Handbook on Rechargeable Batteries for Non-Engineers, Second Edition, Isidor Buchmann
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.

Batteries for Portable Devices, Gianfranco Pistoia
Batteries for Portable Devices provides a comprehensive overview of all batteries used in portable electric and electronic, as well as medical devices. These range from the cellular phone to portable CD and cardiac pacemakers to remote micro-sensors.

Industrial/UPS/Telecom

Industrial Applications of Batteries, M Broussely, Gianfranco Pistoia
Industrial Applications of Batteries looks at both the applications and the batteries and covers the relevant scientific and technological features. Presenting large batteries for stationary applications, e.g. energy storage, and also batteries for hybrid vehicles or different tools.

Valve-Regulated Lead-Acid Batteries, D.A.J. Rand
This book provides a comprehensive account of VRLA technology and its uses. In the future, all industrial processes - including the manufacture of batteries - will be required to conform to the conventions of sustainability. Accordingly, the crucial areas of the environmental impact associated with the production and use of VRLA batteries and the recycling of spent units are also treated thoroughly.
