Packed With Power

Imagine a world where everything that used electricity had to be plugged in. Flashlights, hearing aids, cell phones and other portable devices would be tethered to electrical outlets, rendering them awkward and cumbersome. Cars couldn't be started with the simple turn of a key; a strenuous cranking would be required to get the pistons moving. Wires would be strung everywhere, creating a safety hazard and an unsightly mess.

Thankfully, batteries provide us with a mobile source of power that makes many modern conveniences possible. This week, a look at batteries.

TTFN, Fred.
