Report

"As an introductory readable text for the non-specialist electrical engineer anxious to keep abreast of what chemists and physicists are developing in the laboratory it is highly recommended." --Electronics and Power - Institution of Electrical Engineers"This is a well written and reasonably comprehensive account of the electrochemistry, construction and performance of conventional and modern batteries which is nicely balanced between theory and practice." --Education in Chemistry"... there are no omissions... I can recommend the book to readers who wish to bring themselves quickly up to speed with the topic." --The Advanced Lead-Acid Battery Consortium"... a really excellent text - I could hardly put it down. It should be read by all electrical and electronics engineers." --Prof E Spooner, Durham University, UK
