In today’s electronics world there is a constant cry for more power. This is a direct result of several factors. Society demands more information and functions out of electronic devices, and engineers and designers are forced to respond to these requests in order to stay ahead. This can be seen by more processor speed on PCs, i-Pods with the capability of storing thousand of files, household appliances with full electronic controls, and many other day-to-day examples that are taken for granted. Compare this with 20 years ago when PCs were not a common household item, cell phones were not in use, and appliances at best only had a digital clock. In most cases, energy storage needs were limited to primary alkaline batteries. There was little need to recharge and no need for high-power energy devices.
