Batteries have become an essential part in our lives having used from Wrist Watches to satellites. With evolving technology the energy demand and size keeps optimizing and increasing, this needs has to be fulfilled with better battery technologies.

Battery technology is already making electric vehicles possible, helping to store excess energy from the power generated and lot more. But tomorrow, could you be boarding a battery-powered airplane, or living in a city powered at night by solar energy/wind energy?

To assess the suitability of a particular type for any specific use, there are 10 major properties worth looking at in a battery:

1. High Specific Energy

2. High Specific Power

3. Affordable Cost

4. Long Life

5. High Safety

6. Wide Operating Range

7. No Toxicity

8. Fast Charging

9. Low Self-Discharge

10. Long Shelf Life
