Delving into the world of photography can be intimidating for a first timer. What type of camera should I buy? What else do I need? What is zoom? What is macro? Relax. Here's a quick guide to get you started.
First, let's look at the camera. You can choose to go with either an SLR or point-and-shoot. Each camera has its benefits. Digital SLRs use interchangeable lenses that give you flexibility for different types of photography whereas point-and-shoots have fixed lenses and are generally easier to use (and less expensive). For example, an entry level SLR like the Nikon D3000, which includes an 18-55mm lens, will run you around $600 compared to a decent point-and-shoot like the Nikon Coolpix L110, which costs about $200. If you're looking for something for general picture-taking, a good point-and-shoot will suffice. If sports and action photography is more what you have in mind, you may want to spend the extra money on an SLR.
Consider an additional lens if you do buy an SLR. Certain lenses allow you to take different types of photos. For instance, if taking landscapes is your forté, you might want a wide-angle lens [source: Sheffers]. Or you might be interested in a macro lens for close-ups of flowers or a telephoto zoom lens for capturing wildlife from a safe distance. Before spending that extra money, look at the capabilities of the lens that comes with your camera. You might be surprised at what your SLR can already do.
You'll also need a memory card to store photos on. The cards depend on the camera you buy. Most point-and-shoots use Secure Digital cards, whereas SLRs tend to take CompactFlash. The larger the size, the more photos the card can store before you'll need to download them. If you plan on taking a lot of photos between each transfer to your computer, buy a card that's at least 2 GB.
Other items you'll need are a camera bag,
lens filters for an SLR and cleaning cloths. Find a bag with ample storage for
what you plan to use with your camera. If you buy an SLR, get a bag with storage
room for additional lenses. Filters will screen out UV light, which improves
image quality, and they also protect the camera lens.
Your final item may be a beginner's guide to photography. Two options are "Digital SLR Cameras & Photography for Dummies" by David. D. Busch or "How to Photograph Absolutely Everything" by Tom Ang. These types of books teach you how to use the various settings on cameras and how to get the most out of your photography.

It started with a simple book series featuring three girls: Samantha, Kirsten and Molly. Each grew up in a different time period, and each had exciting adventures to share with young readers. Stories included unique historical references that educated young girls on how life was during a different era. Today, the American Girl collection has expanded to include more female heroines and more avid fans. The stories and American Girl dolls and toys are must-haves for little girls and collectors alike.
Meet the Historical Girls
Each girl in the American Girl series lives in a particular time
period in American history. The following dolls from the original series have
been retired:
Kirsten, a pioneer girl, was
born in Sweden but settled in Minnesota with her family in the 1850s. She
teaches girls that home can be anywhere and the value in learning to adapt to
change.
Samantha, an orphan, lived with
her wealthy grandmother in the early 1900s. Her friend Nellie helps teach her
that life is not all about money, and the importance of helping others.
Felicity lived in colonial
times in the 1770s and had to learn to get along with those, like her best
friend Elizabeth, who did not agree on the state of America's independence.
There are many American Girl heroines still available for little girls to learn from today. Dolls that can currently be purchased in the American Girl store include:
Addy, the first African-American
doll, lived during the Civil War in the 1860s. She escaped slavery and learned
the importance of relying on family during difficult times.
Molly lived during World War II
and began to understand the importance of sacrifice to reach a goal as she
worked to show her patriotism by helping during the war.
Kit learned what it was like to
go without while living during the Great Depression.
Rebecca, who is Jewish, lived
in the early 1900s and had to learn to blend her family's old Jewish traditions
with newer traditions and desires.
Marie-Grace and Cecile lived in
New Orleans in the 1850s. One white and the other African-American, they formed
an unlikely friendship as they cared for others.
Josefina, the first
Hispanic-American girl, lived in the 1820s and had to deal with the
difficulties that came with losing her mother and making new memories.
Kaya, a Native American,
learned about being a leader as she dreamed about leading her tribe during the
1760s.
Julie lived in San Francisco in
the 1970s and learned to handle change as her parents went through a divorce.
Caroline lived in New York
during the War of 1812 and dreamed of being captain of a ship, just like her
father.
Girl of the Year
Starting in 2001, American Girl began featuring an annual
"girl of the year" doll to represent today's modern girl. These dolls
are available for purchase for only one year, after which they are retired and
a new one is introduced. Young girls will enjoy collecting each year's edition,
as well as playing online interactive games featuring the dolls. A few of the
dolls who have been named "girl of the year" include:
McKenna, 2012, who is a skilled
gymnast but struggles with reading.
Chrissa, 2009, who took a stand
against bullies
Nikki, 2007, who loved to
volunteer and trained service dogs.
Marisol, 2006, who loved to
dance and used it to cope with changes in her life.
Kailey, 2002, who liked to
speak out about causes she believed in.
My American Girl
In addition to the main dolls, the series includes the My American Girl collection which allows girls to design a doll to look just like them. Girls can customize the hair and eye color of their dolls, choose a specific skin color and whether or not the doll has freckles and even choose the kind of hairstyle the doll has. Once the basic doll has been chosen, girls can choose an outfit and add accessories such as earrings, glasses, or braces, and even give her a pet. The doll also comes with a subscription to Innerstar University, a place to interact with other girls and their dolls, play games and learn in a fun online world. American Girl Accessories
Part of the fun of having an American Girl doll is all of the accessories available to purchase. These include clothing, furniture, accessories for the doll's hair and special accessories related to the doll's interests. Most notably, girls can purchase coordinating outfits so they and their dolls can dress alike.
Pets
Also available are pets for the American Girls to adopt. The pet collection includes five dogs named Coconut, Meatloaf, Honey, Pepper, and Sugar, and four cats named Praline, Ginger, Inkpot, and Licorice. There is also a service dog set that comes with a training vest and dog treats. There are multiple accessories that go along with the pets, including:
Carriers
Pet beds
Hiking sets
Bath sets
Rain gear
Pet show set
American Girl Books
While the dolls and their accessories are extremely popular, the American Girl series comes to life with its books. The books are designed to teach girls valuable lessons, empower them to be strong women and, with the historical books, pique their interest in history.
Historical Fiction
Each historical doll is featured in a series of books based on her life. The first book in the series is usually a meet the character book, for example Meet Addy. In addition the series typically includes a book about changes, a book about learning a lesson, a happy birthday book, a saves the day book and a mystery book. Books in each character's series may be purchased individually or as a set.
Contemporary
Fiction
As the American Girl collection has grown, it has started to include more contemporary fiction. The collection features books based on the Girl of the Year, along with other stories featuring characters based on the dolls. Some of the books offer multiple endings and allow girls to make choices as they read through. Special content related to the books is also available online through Innerstar University.
Crafts
The American Girl collection includes multiple activity books and craft sets for girls. They range from question and answer books to craft projects to inspire interaction with their dolls, creating friendship bracelets and making paper art.
Setting a Good Example
All of the American Girl dolls and toys are focused on empowering girls and teaching them positive lessons. They encourage girls to stand up for what they believe in, take on challenges and learn to handle difficult emotions. The dolls do not wear skimpy clothing or act inappropriately. In the stories they may occasionally misbehave or make a mistake, but they always learn a lesson as a result. While girls will enjoy playing with the dolls and reading the stories, parents can rest easy knowing they are learning valuable lessons at the same time.

The Royal College of
Paediatrics and Child Health (RCPCH) has published its findings on research
examining the impact of screen time on children and has come up with a result
that might surprise some: there's a lack of evidence that suggests that screen
time is actually detrimental to your child's health.
The news comes with the recommendation to "let parents be
parents", according to Dr Max Davie, Officer for Health Promotion for the
RCPCH, suggesting, like many things, that moderation and common sense is more
important.
The news will likely be greeted with jubilation from fans of technology,
but there's a major caveat: the RCPCH goes on to say that it's important that
technology doesn't interfere with other essential areas of a child's
development - including social and physical.
Parents
still need to stay in control
While some are already seeing it as a seal of
approval for the digital nanny - dumping your child in front of a tablet rather
than actually interacting with your child - the RCPCH points out that
technology isn't a replacement for parenting.
Rather than suggesting a time limit for the use
of digital devices, the Royal College is instead suggesting that you use four
questions to evaluate your relationship with technology:
Is your family's screen time under control?
Does screen use interfere with what your
family want to do?
Does screen use interfere with sleep?
Are you able to control snacking during screen
time use?
Here we get to the crux of the matter: if your
family doesn't function as a family then you have a problem - and technology
use might not be the problem, it might be a symptom.
Essentially, parents need to be parenting, they
need to be aware of what their children are doing with devices and they need to
stay in control.
"We suggest that age appropriate boundaries
are established, negotiated by parent and child that everyone in the family
understands. When these boundaries are not respected, consequences need to be
put in place," said Dr Davie. That's parenting 101.
"It is also important that adults in the family reflect
on their own level of screen time in order to have a positive influence on
younger members." Parents need to be role models.
High
screen time could make you fat
The guidelines of the RCPCH are partly based on a review of research, conducted by Institute of Child Health, University College London, and published in the British Medical Journal, which found links between higher screen time and obesity, poor diet and lower quality of life.
The takeaway here is that screens can distract
from healthy routines, like sitting down for a proper meal and that's really
what these guideline point to: don't let the tech dictate your family
life.
It's also pointed out that when screen time gets
in the way of exercise - you're playing FIFA rather than actual football - then
it's starting to interfere with a healthy lifestyle. The RCPCH also finds that
unhealthy snacking can be a side effect of screen time, wanting to stay playing
rather than sitting down for a proper meal.
Screen time
can disrupt your sleep
One of the strong recommendations is that you
don't use digital devices in the hour leading up to bed time, because of the
disruption it can have on sleep. While specific device use data might be rare
(it's mostly based around TV viewing), there's no lack of research into the
importance of quality sleep and the benefits to mental wellbeing and education
- and screen time can disrupt that.
The RCPCH points out that there's little evidence to suggest that "night modes" do anything to make using a device use before bedtime any better. While there's evidence that shows that blue light exposure suppresses melatonin production and keeps you awake - and blue light suppression reduces this effect - research doesn't yet say that night modes will help you sleep.
Instead the recommendation is that there's no
screen time in the hour leading up to bedtime.
More
research is needed
While all these guidelines sound like common
sense - they are - one of the big points made by the RCPCH is that more
specific quality research is needed in particular areas relating to screen time
use. What there isn't evidence for, at the moment, is that screen time is
necessarily bad - and the public perception is rather "toxic" -
something not supported by scientific research.
You can find the full recommendations via the
link below, which includes the details of the scientific research that's lead
to the findings.

Finding the best tablet for your child isn’t simply a matter of comparing technical stats. Operating system features for safety and ease of use, as well as bespoke learning tools are just as important.
Equally, the device needs to engage
children in a fun, free and creative manner to capture their imagination. Then
it needs to grow with them as they develop. That there are so many different
options is perhaps indicative of the challenge facing manufacturers.
We've rounded up several tablets that
are specifically for or suited to children that you could consider. All of them
have their merits and offer a wide range of educational and fun features for
kids.
LeapFrog LeapPad Platinum
LeapFrog’s popular LeapPad becomes the
Platinum this year. Building on the success of the Ultra XDi it continues the
bespoke operating system, safe-browsing and game ecosystem. Brand new are
collectable Imagicards that combine virtual and physical learning. Place any of
the 30 or so available cards in front of the camera to bring characters into
games.
The Platinum includes ten apps out of
the box with 500 more games, eBooks and videos that can be downloaded. Another
strong learning feature is the "It’s Just for Me" system that tracks
progress to personalise games for young players' abilities across different
games. In terms of safety, robustness and learning the LeapPad Platinum
continues to lead the crowd for younger children.
Amazon Fire HD 6 Kids Edition
A child-friendly tablet that pairs perfectly with Amazon’s "Fire for Kids" subscription service offering children’s books, videos and appropriate apps and games. Sporting a hefty quad core processor and front/rear cameras it’s also equipped for more than watching films - kids can make them too.
This is topped off with a no quibble
two-year warranty and “child proof” case, it won’t survive a dunking but will
put up with most of life’s drops and knocks. Should it end up at the bottom of
a paddling pool though, Amazon will replace it no questions asked. If you want
a “proper” tablet that will grow with your child the Fire HD 6 Kids
edition is a great option, especially as it has settings to restrict how much
time a child can play for.
Tesco Hudl 2
While not quite the level of build
quality as the Kindle HD 6 Kids Edition, the Hudl 2 is a cost-effective
contender for child-friendly tablet. Screen display quality is excellent and is
paired with a strong processor to give interactions a snappy feel.
A great family feature is the Child
Safety application that enables multiple profiles to be set-up that restrict
access to content and (perhaps more importantly) the amount of tablet time each
child gets each day. Better still, use Clubcard vouchers to get the purchase
price down.
Nabi 2
Styled with protection in mind the Nabi
2 is an excellent Android tablet for children. Educational content is preloaded
with a “Safe Kids” mode, but it can grow with the child to allow full access to
the Android interface including the broad Google Play and Google App stores.
A nice touch is granting children in-app
rewards for helping round the home.
Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 Kids
The Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 Kids wears it’s child-friendly credentials on its sleeve (although may look too childish for older kids). The Android operating system is tailored for younger users and pre-loaded with friendly apps and games all of which have an educational bent.
The device also sports an “enhanced
rugged frame” to put up with more knocks and scrapes although this is not as
protective as some others on this list.
VTech Innotab Max
While tech savvy parents may see this as
a low tech cash-in on the kids market, younger children generally warm to the
Innotab. It is undoubtedly slower than competitors and although the device
price is low, cartridge software can be costly.
It also offers a tailored child-centric
experience with some nice touches like the ability for children to
electronically request particular games and content from parents.
Apple iPad mini 2
This slightly long in the tooth iPad is
not the cheapest route for a child friendly tablet device but is a high
performer that will grow with them as they develop.
It is also a cheaper option than the
iPad mini 3 even though there's little difference in the two for this
particular purpose. We do advise you pair the tablet with a child friendly case
though, to avoid damage from drops and splashes. If you do so, you have a
strong contender.
You can restrict web browser and app
installation via the standard settings and even disable explicit content in
music, podcasts and TV shows. Best of all is the vast library of iOS
child-centric games and apps.
Google Nexus 7
Either Nexus 7 (if you can find one) or
Nexus 9 if you can’t, are worth considering as child friendly tablet devices.
Pair these with a robust case and they become a powerful, safe window into the
Android’s entertainment and educational world.
Set up child-centric user profiles to
restrict online access and purchases and away you go — just keep an eye on
Bluetooth and NFC access as this can’t be disabled.
Conclusion
The children’s tablet space is a fast
moving and complex area of consumer electronics. Once you have your top picks
from this list it’s worth spending some time hunting for bargains as the
different brands compete to build a young install base.
This time is well spent as the right device for your family can make all the difference. This not only offers peace of mind to parents but enjoyment and education for children in years to come.

Hook some fun with a paper fish craft. These fun paper craft ideas bring the ocean to life with a variety of different materials, most of which you may already have on hand.
Craft Ideas for Paper Fish
All of the following projects are suitable
for kids to make with adult supervision. Use a variety of paper colors to
create an eye-catching assortment of crafts.
Geometric-Shape
Fish
Construct a fish out of various shapes to help kids use their imaginations.
Materials
Construction paper
Scissors
Glue
Instructions
Cut shapes such as hearts,
triangles, diamonds and circles out of various colors of construction paper.
Allow the kids to construct a
fish out of the shapes by gluing them onto a blank sheet of paper. For example,
you can use triangles as fins and hearts for body shapes.
Hand
Print Fish
This craft is a fun way to capture your child's hand prints.
Materials
Tempera paint
Foam roller
Paper
Markers
Instructions
Roll tempera paint onto your
child's hand, covering it completely.
Have your child press his hand
firmly onto the paper sideways so the fingers create the tail of the fish.
Apply additional paint to your
child's fingertips and allow him to make details such as gills and fins by
pressing his fingers into the corresponding areas.
After the paint dries, finish
the craft by adding eyes and scales with markers.
Paper
and Cellophane Fish Bowl
Hang this fun fish bowl on the wall for an
instant aquarium.
Materials
Scissors
Poster board or construction
paper
Blue cellophane
Glue
Craft sand
Fish stickers
Instructions
Cut out the shape of a fish
bowl from a piece of poster board or construction paper.
Cut out and remove the center
of the fish bowl leaving only a 1-inch wide frame.
Glue a piece of blue cellophane
to the back of the bowl so it stretches tightly on all sides. Trim off the
excess cellophane from the outside edges of the paper frame.

Construction paper
Clear contact paper
Tissue paper in various colors
Instructions
Cut a large fish shape from a
piece of construction paper.
Carefully cut away the interior
of the shape, leaving a 1-inch frame showing the fish shape.
Carefully apply a piece of
contact paper to one side of the fish and trim away the excess.
Have your child stick squares
of tissue paper in a variety of colors to the inside of the contact paper.
Apply a second piece of contact
paper to the other side of the frame to seal it in. Trim away the excess.

A tripod is an invaluable tool for the professional and novice photographer alike and will help you take better photos. No one wants to spend money on a tool or product that isn't going to work or that might break easily, so the wise consumer will do research and learn from experience of others.
Top Rated Tripods
Whether you need a mini
tripod to slip into a camera bag or a full sized tripod, there are many options
on the the market. The following is a list of some of the best camera tripods
for the money on the current market.
Mini
Tripods
The explosion of compact digital cameras has given rise to a
cottage industry of mini tripods, including these top picks that sell for less
than $50:
Pod Bean Bag Tripod: The colorful unconventional tripod measures 3.75-inches in diameter and has a camera mount screw in the center. Basically it is a beanbag, which can be placed on any number of non-smooth surfaces to give you a steady base for your camera.
JOBY Gorillapod Flexible Tripod: This funky tripod looks more like an alien than a photo gadget, but it performs extremely well. It comes equipped with three bendable legs than can be positioned to stand like a tripod, or even wrapped around a bar or railing to position the camera where you want it.
Slik Mini-Pro V Tripod with 2-Way Pan/Tilt Head: This table-top tripod features a 2-way pan head that also has a panhandle. This makes moving the camera easy and smooth. The tripod features a suction cup at its base so it can be attached to a window or another smooth surface.
Pedco UltraPod Lightweight Camera Tripod: The Pedco is designed to securely support up to three pounds and features three fold out legs. It can be attached to a fence or other rail by its Velcro strap. It comes with a lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects.
Traditional
Size Tripods
While mini tripods work well for tiny digital cameras, if you have bulkier equipment like a digital SLR camera or a standard size camcorder, you're better off with a larger, sturdier professional quality tripod, such as these models that sell for less than $400:
Manfrotto 190XPROB 3 Section Aluminum Pro Tripod: This is a three-section aluminum tripod from Manfrotto is one of the best selling models on the market. It weighs a mere four pounds, but provides sufficient stability for heavy cameras. Standout features include quick action leg locks and a center column that can be tilted to a complete 180 degrees, which provides great comfort when shooting in macro mode.
SLIK PRO 700DX Professional Tripod with Panhead (615-315): This particular model folds up to 27 inches and can extend up to 63 inches. It also comes with a three-way panhead with quick release plate, making it easy to pop off your camera in an instant.
Ravelli APGL4 New Professional 70" Tripod: This tripod provides professional quality for under $100. It features a stable head and an all-aluminum construction and over-sized plates which can easily hold a camera with heavy or bulky attachments.
Cullmann Magic 2 Tripod with Ball & Socket Head: The full-size Cullmann tripod is loved by many for its compact size that folds down small enough to fit easily into most camera bags. It weighs a mere 2.5 pounds and can easily be converted into a mono-pod.
What to Look for in a Good Tripod
Heavy
vs. Light
Generally speaking, the
heavier your tripod the better your photos. This is because a tripod's main
function is to anchor the camera. Therefore, a heavy tripod offers more
stability than a lighter model. This is especially true if you are shooting in
windy or bumpy conditions. A heavy tripod protects a camera from vibration and
other factors that can cause it to shake while you are framing your shot.
However, if you are
shooting with a lightweight digital camera you're able to get away with using a
lighter tripod. If your tripod is able to adequately support your camera
outdoors, in a moderate breeze, then it should suffice. What's more,
lightweight tripods offer the added bonus of being extra-portable. If your
tripod is too heavy you are more apt to leave it at home. The key is to find a
tripod that is light enough to carry long distances, but not too light that it
is unable to sustain the weight of your camera.
Ball
head
You will want to have a
nice, fluid ball head. This will help to have a ball that is easy to move when
you have to make adjustments. You will also want to make sure that the ball head
will lock into place securely.
Ease
of Use
A good tripod should be
sturdy and rigid, yet it should also set up and break down quickly. Most
tripods feature quick-release hinged latches that let you open and close the
legs rapidly. The latches are valuable assets when you are shooting on the run
and need to extend the tripod's legs in a flash. However, they can't support as
much weight as screw-type leg locks.
Leg Types
The bottoms of the tripod's
legs matter as well. Some tripod feet have pins or spikes that dig into the
ground while others have flat bottoms with rubber pads that grip both indoor
and outdoor surfaces.
Making the Final Choice
Buying a good tripod will help you take clear, crisp photos. There are good models at every price-point, offering a variety of styles and options for every photographer. Doing some research, including asking friends and fellow photographers about their favorite tripods, can help you choose the perfect equipment for your photographs.

Let’s take a look at the
most common secondary battery chemistries available.
1. LITHIUM ION BATTERIES
Lithium is the lightest
metal in the periodic table and has a specific capacity of 3860 mAh/g compared
to Zinc at 820 mAh/g (battery capacity is what gives our devices talk time or
run time). Lithium also has an electrochemical reduction potential of 3.045 V
against 0.76 V for Zinc (i.e a lithium based battery provides a battery voltage
of 3 V or greater). The combination of these two properties results in very
high energy densities for lithium based batteries.
While lithium metal based batteries could provide extremely high energy density, when these systems are charged there is the risk of dendritic growth which could penetrate the separator and create a short. We have all heard of the risks of battery explosions and thermal runaway from the resulting temperature rise associated with lithium battery shorting. This risk is alleviated in lithium ion batteries, where the lithium is in a non-metallic form, and lithium ions move back and forth between the anode and cathode. Lithium ion batteries trade-off energy density compared to lithium metal in order to be able to charge in a relatively stable and safe manner (although it is easy to forget this, considering the recent Samsung and other lithium ion battery explosions).
Owing to their excellent
energy density and long cycle life (over 1000 cycles) these rechargeable
systems are used in a wide variety of applications such as cell phones,
laptops, plug in hybrids and electric vehicles. In the most common lithium ion
battery implementation, the anode is typically a graphite sheet, the cathode a
lithium cobalt oxide, and the electrolyte a lithium salt in an organic solvent.
Because lithium is highly reactive towards water, it cannot be used with aqueous electrolytes unlike Zinc. Organic electrolytes are commonly used – but these pale in conductivity compared to aqueous electrolytes like potassium hydroxide, zinc chloride etc, and limit the power output of lithium batteries (in order to get power, low battery resistance and high electrolyte conductivity are required). Owing to the low conductivity of organic electrolytes, Li-based battery cell designs favor large surface area construction such as coin over button cells, and jellyroll construction over the bobbin type in order to minimize internal resistance and enhance power capability. In other words, cell construction has to be relied on to increase power output for lithium based batteries.
A high cell voltage of
3.6 Volts or greater means fewer cells are needed for high voltage
applications. For example, one Lithium cell can replace three NiCad or NiMH cells
which have a cell voltage of 1.2 Volts. Unlike lead acid batteries, these can
be deep cycled.
Disadvantages stem from the fact that lithium is so highly reactive that special safety electronics are required. Lithium ion batteries are also subject to transportation regulations (each airline passenger is restricted to carrying 2g of metallic lithium in primary batteries or 8g of rechargeable Li-ion). Safety issues include the possibility of thermal runaway when overcharged, abused or when used outside of the operating window.
2. NICKEL METAL HYDRIDE BATTERIES
Nickel metal hydride
batteries use a nickel oxyhydroxide cathode, a hydrogen absorbing alloy as
anode (replaces Cd in the Ni-Cd battery) and an alkaline electrolyte. They have
good high power capability, but cannot compete with lithium ion in terms of
energy density. This is a 1.2 V battery system. They are resilient to both
overcharge and discharge and can be operated between -30 to 75 C. While lithium
ion batteries have replaced this system in many consumer applications, nickel
metal hydride still finds use in hybrid electric vehicles, where it has seen
more than 10 years of use. The active chemicals are also inherently safer
than lithium based systems, and don’t require the use of complex battery
management systems. Nickel metal hydride batteries also compete with
lithium ion on cost for applications like portable tools.
3. LEAD ACID BATTERIES
Lead acid batteries have
low energy densities, but are widely used in automotive starter batteries
because of their ability to provide high surge currents inexpensively. No
other battery system provides high power rate capability as cheaply and
reliably as lead acid and this system has been in use for 140 years! No wonder
this battery system finds use in applications like golf carts, forklifts, UPS
vehicles, electric scooters and electric wheelchairs. Owing to their low energy
density, you will never see this system used in consumer applications.
4. NICKEL CADMIUM BATTERIES
Nickel cadmium batteries have lost significant market share to Li ion and Nickel metal hydride batteries since the 1990s, due to the toxicity of cadmium. They provide a voltage of 1.2 V, and use an alkaline electrolyte. Their ability to provide high discharge rates made portable electronic applications practical when they first came to market. Advantages of this system include high cycle life, wide temperature range and their relatively high abuse tolerance. However, because of the toxicity of Cadmium, these are being phased out for many consumer applications.
