First on my small list may be the Coda electric car available with a 4 seats capacity and powered by a 728 cell kobalt preis-ion phosphate battery. The vehicle includes a range of 90-120 miles and can achieve a maximum speed of 80 mph. It comes with an interesting warranty: 3 years or 36,000 miles. An interesting fact is the battery which equips this car is covered for 8 years/100,000 miles. If you are interested in buying this electric vehicle you should know that the prices are around $37,000.
Nonetheless, the Volt is not something in GM's immediate plans. The idea for the Volt would require that a cost efficient 400-lb lithium-ion battery be found. lithium facts-ion batteries of this size are not currently available. Further advances in battery technology would be required to allow GM to consider making the Volt a production car. These are enhancements that could occur in as little as a year, or as many as 20 years. GM has stated that they feel the technology is almost there, yet a vehicle like this is probably about a decade away.
ONickel Cadmium (NiCd) - The oldest battery type used in cell phones. They are the heaviest and lowest capacity battery type. These can be somewhat hard to find.
Laptop computer uses If you keep the lithium bettery stock battery in your laptop for everyday use and power it from the wall socket unplug the power every few days and let it run off the battery as a battery at capacity lasts longer than one at capacity if you don't travel with it you should remove the laptop battery when on fixed power.
For any new laptop, the battery usually comes empty. It's advisable to charge at least 4 hours non-stop on the first charging as it can prolong the lifespan of the battery. Also during the first charging, it is not advisable to use the laptop battery at all.
For jobs where the batteries are required to be light weight as well as being reusable, then lithium batteries are ideal. But if a battery is needed to be very reliable or to remain unused for a long time then they might not be the right batteries for it.
