π Everything You Need to Know About Batteries in Electronics!
Batteries are the primary power source for most electronic devices and circuits. Choosing the right type can greatly impact your project’s performance! β‘π§
π‘ What is a Battery?
A battery is a device that stores chemical energy and converts it into electrical energy to power circuits and devices.
βοΈ Why Do We Use Batteries?
β
Portable power source for electronics
β
Provides backup power in case of outages
β
Powers low-voltage circuits safely
β
Used in backup systems like clocks and computers
πΉ Most Common Types of Batteries in Electronics:
πΈ Alkaline Batteries (π)
βοΈ Most common in household devices like remotes and toys.
βοΈ Non-rechargeable, available in multiple sizes (AA, AAA, 9V).
πΉ Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion) Batteries π΅
βοΈ Used in phones, laptops, and electronic projects.
βοΈ Rechargeable with a longer lifespan than other types.
πΈ Lithium-Polymer (Li-Po) Batteries π΄
βοΈ Found in drones, robotics, and advanced electronics.
βοΈ Lightweight, high current output, but requires careful charging and handling.
πΉ Lead-Acid Batteries β«
βοΈ Used in cars, UPS systems, and heavy equipment.
βοΈ High power output, but heavy and requires maintenance.
