nickel–metal hydrate cells is nearly direct replacement for NiCd, yet they yield better
capacity but have somewhat poorer self-discharge.
A lithium polymer battery contain a nonliquid electrolyte, which makes it a solidstate
battery. This allows one to fabricate it in any size and shape; however, these
batteries are the most expensive. Rechargeable alkaline batteries have low cost and
good power density. However, their life cycles are quite low.
