Solar Batteries - Power Backup

“There are no black and whites in the battery world, only shades of gray. The battery is a black box with a mind of its own; mystical and unexplainable. For some, the battery causes no problems whatsoever; for others it’s nothing but a headache.

Improvements have been slow. Whereas Moore’s Law* doubled the number of transistors in an integrated circuit every two years, capacity gain of lithium-ion (Li-ion) has been about 8 percent per year in the decades following its introduction in 1991. Figure 1 compares the energy storage capability of a battery over time compared to innovations in computing technologies.”

*In 1965, Gordon Moore said that the number of transistors in an integrated circuit would double every two years. The prediction became true and is being carried into the 21st century. Applied to a battery, Moore’s Law would shrink a starter battery in a car to the size of a coin.
