Obviously ICE are powered by lithium facts the gasoline you buy when you fill up at a gas station. The electric motor/generator is powered by a large (and by large, I mean large and heavy) battery pack. Most hybrids on the road today have large Nickel-Metal Hydride (NiMH) battery packs somewhere near the trunk, or under the seats. (Read about the Lexus Hybrid battery pack).
Nonetheless, the Volt is not something in GM's immediate plans. The idea for the Volt would require that a cost efficient 400-lb lithium-ion battery be found. lithium facts-ion batteries of this size are not currently available. Further advances in battery technology would be required to allow GM to consider making the Volt a production car. These are enhancements that could occur in as little as a year, or as many as 20 years. GM has stated that they feel the technology is almost there, yet a vehicle like this is probably about a decade away.
ONickel Cadmium (NiCd) - The oldest battery type used in cell phones. They are the heaviest and lowest capacity battery type. These can be somewhat hard to find.
It was not until I was able to call on the name of Jesus that I felt the presence ebb. One year later I moved to New York City--trying to move away from demons no doubt!

The good thing was that I found a great bible-believing church in New York. I learned to pray and fast, memorize and meditate on scripture, fellowship and call on believers to pray for me.
All power tool batteries degrade over time and lithium ion batteries degrade more rapidly over periods of un-use. Accordingly, use them often and when you're not in the trenches of a project, try to use them at least once each month.
There are a couple of more considerations about choosing your cell phone battery which we cover with a later post. And don't forget the holidays are coming up so make sure you take a look at various face plates and extra batteries to enhance your gifts!
