First on my small list may be the Coda electric car available with a 4 seats capacity and powered by a 728 cell cobalt mine-ion phosphate battery. The vehicle includes a range of 90-120 miles and can achieve a maximum speed of 80 mph. It comes with an interesting warranty: 3 years or 36,000 miles. An interesting fact is the battery which equips this car is covered for 8 years/100,000 miles. If you are interested in buying this electric vehicle you should know that the prices are around $37,000.
Power cords - Again, in my opinion, they are poor quality and might damage your electronics. Duct tape sand paper painter's tape lithium facts and bungee cords are good though.
Nickel-Cadium - Ni-Cd batteries is one of the oldest and best performance types of rechargeable batteries but it has a major problem. After a long usage ( a few years), the battery will suffer from the dreaded memory effect. This means that the lifespan usage of the battery will deteriorate as time goes by.
On the second point, iPOD batteries are smart charging. Now, you can't use your iPOD Nano battery to help study for a test! Rather, they're smart because they can tell the charger when they're almost full. When your iPOD is charging, it charges up to 80% capacity in no time flat. Then the iPOD battery tells the charger to slow down so the charging process goes lithium bettery stock from warp speed to snail's pace. This ensures that the battery doesn't overcharge, and makes certain that you're spending your time with your music, and not spending your cash on iPOD batteries.
All power tool batteries degrade over time and lithium ion batteries degrade more rapidly over periods of un-use. Accordingly, use them often and when you're not in the trenches of a project, try to use them at least once each month.
For jobs where the batteries are required to be light weight as well as being reusable, then lithium batteries are ideal. But if a battery is needed to be very reliable or to remain unused for a long time then they might not be the right batteries for it.
