Understanding the Types of Battery, It’s Chemistry, and Selection for Everyday Applications

Batteries are everywhere in our daily lives, powering devices like watches, toys, and even electric vehicles. There are two main types: primary, which you can't recharge, and secondary, which you can recharge.



Primary batteries, such as alkaline ones, are used in things like remote controls and pacemakers. They are convenient for devices that don't need a lot of power. On the other hand, secondary batteries, like the ones in phones and electric cars, can be charged and used again. They are suitable for devices that need a lot of power.

There are different kinds of rechargeable batteries, each with its own strengths. For example, Nickel-Cadmium batteries are good for electric vehicles, while Nickel-Metal Hydride batteries are used in high-drain devices. Lead-Acid batteries are reliable and used in things like solar panels, while Lithium-ion batteries are common in phones and gadgets.


Choosing the right battery depends on factors like how much energy it can hold, how quickly it can release that energy, and how safe and durable it is.

Arduino IR Remote Control

Arduino and Android based Universal IR Remote Control
I started this project in order to get rid of various remotes at my home and build something single which could incorporate features of all of them. I got this idea when I saw one of my friend’s mobile phone with built in IR blaster, at that time I decided not to buy a similar phone rather make my own device which should be compatible with my existing handset. So here we are going to Convert an Android Phone into an IR Remote using Arduino to control various devices at home.IR-blaster-using-Arduino
