What type of battery is the best?
NiMH batteries have replaced nickel cadmium (NiCd) batteries as the preferred cylindrical rechargeable battery. They offer higher energy capacity (up to 50 percent more) than NiCd batteries and avoid the high toxicity of cadmium.
What are the factors to be considered in battery?

What type of cell is a battery?
A primary cell or battery is one that cannot easily be recharged after one use, and are discarded following discharge. Most primary cells utilize electrolytes that are contained within absorbent material or a separator (i.e. no free or liquid electrolyte), and are thus termed dry cells.
Which is the best battery for your project?
Depending on your application, a certain chemistry of battery may be better suited: Alkaline, Zinc-Carbon, NiCd, NiMh, Li-Ion, LiFePO4, and SLA each have unique attributes for unique projects. Alkaline batteries are very popular and can be found nearly everywhere.
What’s the best way to choose a battery?
There are all sorts of batteries out there- this short overview will help you find the right one! Battery technology is constantly changing and has come a long way over the last few decades.
What kind of batteries do I need for a microcontroller?
7.2V: six AA or AAA rechargeable NiMh batteries is perfect for 7.2V DC gear motors. These are usually in a battery pack rather than as individual cells and you will need a more specific NiMh battery pack charger. 7.4V: two LiPo cells can often power a microcontroller and works great for 7.2V DC gear motors.
What are the different types of battery types?
On the basis of the chemistry involved in the operation, batteries are classified as Lead Acid Batteries, Alkaline Batteries, Ni-Cad Batteries (Nickel Cadmium), Ni- MH Batteries (Nickel Metal Hydride), Li-Ion (Lithium-Ion) and LiPoly (Lithium Polymer) Batteries
