Searching for a battery and batteries suppliers

Batteries run our life - but can we find the right battery replacement?

Searching for a battery and batteries suppliers

Batteries enter our lives from the moment we are born and almost everything electronic we use contains at least one battery. As we move through the many chapters of our life batteries may control us. Toys for all ages, watches, cameras, camcorders, phones, digital media, leisure and camping, transportation from golf buggies to wheelchairs and other mobility carts, industrial sweepers, floor scrubbers, aerial platforms - think of any household name like Canon, Hitachi, JVC, Panasonic, Sanyo, Sharp, Sony and we can be sure that a battery is required.

We never really know how important batteries are to us - until they are flat, then we set off on a mission to find a replacement. Often we haven't time to shop around for batteries and usually we can't await delivery of specially orders because our supplier doesn't stock them.

I needed to replace a Sony camcorder battery and was horrified at the High Street store's camcorder and camera battery prices. The internet is the obvious tool when searching for things such as batteries. I used Yahoo and typed in 'camcorder batteries uk' - County Battery Services UK came up at number one battery suppliers. So I visited County Battery Supplies UK website ;http://www.countybattery.co.uk/ .Their Sony camcorder batteries started from £19.99 as opposed to £40 on some sites which sell batteries. County Battery Supplies have put a lot of thought into their website, particularly by adding a battery search engine.

The battery catalogue at County Battery is very impressive and it wasn't until I discovered their website that I realised the massive variety of batteries. Starter Chargers, Leisure and Camping Batteries, 12v Motorcycle Batteries, Car Truck and Lorry Batteries, Jet Ski Batteries, Battery Testers, Digital Camera Batteries, Camcorder Batteries, Mobility and Golf Cart Batteries, Mobil Phones and Floor Scrubber/Sweepers/Aerial Platform batteries.

County Battery Services is in plain English and designed for use for everyone whether you are an indivual looking for a single battery or a corporate client looking for an emergency power supply. To help with the jargon, here's a glossary of phrases.

Zinc-carbon battery - Also known as a carbon battery, zinc-carbon chemistry is used in all inexpensive AA, C and D dry-cell batteries. The electrodes are zinc and carbon, with an acidic paste between them that serves as the electrolyte.
Alkaline battery - Used in common Duracell and Ever Ready Energizer batteries, the electrodes are zinc and manganese-oxide, with an alkaline electrolyte.

Lithium photo battery - Lithium, lithium-iodide and lead-iodide are used in cameras because of their ability to supply power surges.

Lead-acid battery - Used in cars, trucks and motorcycles, the electrodes are made of lead and lead-oxide with a strong acidic electrolyte (rechargeable).

Nickel-cadmium battery - The electrodes are nickel-hydroxide and cadmium, with potassium-hydroxide as the electrolyte (rechargeable).

Nickel-metal hydride battery - This battery is rapidly replacing nickel-cadmium because it does not suffer from the memory effect that nickel-cadmiums do (rechargeable).

Lithium-ion battery - With a very good power-to-weight ratio, this is often found in high-end laptop computers and cell phones (rechargeable).

Zinc-air battery - This battery is lightweight and rechargeable.

Zinc-mercury oxide battery - This is often used in hearing-aids.

Silver-zinc battery - This is used in aeronautical applications because the power-to-weight ratio is good.

Metal-chloride battery - This is used in electric vehicles.
