The following battery data are provided for comparison between different types of batteries from different manufacturers. These data, like most other battery data of this type, are rough approximations only. Historically, battery data, while being somewhat accurate, has never been very precise. In compiling these data, numbers were taken from as many sources as possible and averaged together. The majority came for data sheets provided by manufacturers and distributors, while some came from scientific and engineering reports. Because of this not all batteries listed below have the same information. Note that any new data that comes available will gladly be included in future issues or revisions of this handbook.
The battery data from the list below are described in basic and density units. To determine total energy or power of a particular battery, simply multiply these density numbers by the battery mass. Most of the energy, power and capacity numbers were determined at a C/3 rate. The power data is generally the maximum power over a 15 or 30 second period.
