Types
There are six different types of batteries, and each one is good for a particular use.
Cost Oriented Battery
Cost oriented batteries are the cheapest to make that can be recharged. Finally, a use for all of that lead!
Capacity Oriented Battery
Capacity oriented batteries are good for holding lots of charge.
Voltage Oriented Battery
Voltage oriented batteries are 200v batteries (where most are ~50v or less).
Current Oriented Battery
Current oriented batteries can provide larger bursts of current (without exploding), and can be (dis)charged quickly.
Life Oriented Battery
Life oriented batteries will last longer than your typical battery.
Single Use Battery
Single use batteries, unlike any other battery, come fully charged, and cannot be recharged. They have slightly higher energy capacity than other batteries.
They can be made with coal or with charcoal
Battery Charge Curves
This is the typical charge/discharge voltage curve per battery charge.
This graph looks very similar for the 12.5v and 200v batteries, just divide or multiply the voltages by 4 respectively.
Internal Resistance
All real life batteries have internal resistance, which lowers the effective voltage of a battery when current is drawn from it.
To learn more about the internal resistance of batteries, visit the Wikipedia Page on internal resistance.
