Great list of information. That batteries on concrete article is funny. Never good to put metal batteries on wet concrete.

List of Other (Nickel based battery info_

This is one of the best lists that I have ever come across. I am always looking for more info on Edison Batteries. Please look at my archive so far (have 1914 manual in print, need to scan). Please send any feedback, more info you have. Thanks so much!!!

Does anyone have a link that explains NiFe batteries (and, ideally, how to build one?)

Have a look at Edison's original patent :

Electrochemical Power Sources

http://tinyurl.com/kqpj23

The variety and scope of primary and secondary battery applications in domestic goods and capital equipment for civilian and military uses has steadily grown over the years. Annual global sales of the battery business are exceeding £4000 million, encouraging a number of books on individual battery systems. This book is intended to bring together the key features of five electrochemical power sources. Outlining the historical background and basic principles of the direct conversion of electrochemical energy into DC electricity, this book also gives salient details of the manufacturing processes, performances under different conditions of operations and the services for which the batteries are mainly used. This books aims to provide information to graduate electrochemists, engineers working in universities and technical colleges, in Government and other technological institutions, and particularly those engaged in the development of portable power sources and in the design and use of equipment using these devices.

Understanding Batteries

http://tinyurl.com/mb22rv

This product is not available separately, it is only sold as part of a set. There are 750 products in the set and these are all sold as one entity. Batteries are becoming increasingly important in today's world of portable electronic devices, along with the need to store electricity derived from solar and other renewable forms of energy, and the desire to introduce electric and hybrid electric vehicles to reduce emissions. Understanding Batteries is a must for all those seeking a straightforward explanation of how batteries are constructed, their operation, and the factors determining their performance and life. Beginning with a brief history of the development of batteries and a discussion of their applications and markets, the book goes on to outline the basic terminology and science of batteries. The different types of primary (non-rechargeable) and secondary (rechargeable) batteries are then described and emphasis is given to the importance of matching the battery to the intended application. Examples are given to demonstrate how to define and prioritise the various criteria which comprise the battery specification. Throughout, the chemistry is kept as simple as possible. Understanding Batteries will appeal to a wide range of readers, including electrical equipment manufacturers and users, engineers and technicians, chemistry and materials science students, teachers and the interested battery user.
