List some things that are typically considered when selecting a battery for a new application.

When selecting a battery for a new application, things that are typically considered are the mass of the battery, its capacity, whether it is reliable enough for the application in mind and its cost.

To obtain the best application-specific performance, we require several batteries. As we all know, each material has a distinct set of features that make it distinctive. When selecting materials for a battery system, we want to emphasise desired features that are relevant to the intended use. The important factors to consider while choosing a battery system are outlined here.

• Primary, secondary, reserve, or fuel cell system batteries are available.
• Nominal or operational voltage, maximum/minimum voltage restrictions, discharge profile, voltage delay, and start-up time are all aspects of battery voltage.
• Load Current and Profile: Constant current, constant resistance, or constant power; load current value, constant or changing load current
• Duty Cycle: Continuous or intermittent, with a timetable in place if the cycle is intermittent.
• Temperature Requirements: Temperature range required for operation.
• Service Life: The amount of time that an operation must be performed.
• Physical requirements include size, form, and weight restrictions.
• Shelf Life: The amount of time that can be stored.
• Environmental Conditions: Atmospheric conditions such as pressure and humidity, shock, vibration, spin, and acceleration, as well as compatibility with the environment.
• Permissible failure rates for safety and reliability.
• Battery replacement and maintenance are made simple.
• Costs include both initial and ongoing expenses.
