The use of batteries in the modern days has become an essential need for a wide range of electrical devices and products that are globally used. Batteries are convenient sources being used from household applications such as toys, remote controls, torch lights to large industrial operations. Not only batteries supply convenient power sources, it has a significant role as a back-up power in critical needs such as in hospitals, airports and military undertakings. Batteries come in different size and

event of power outages. Larger such systems are gas or diesel powered motor-generators. This chapter does not specifically cover these larger systems. Smaller systems are normally powered by the AC electrical distribution system and employ DC batteries for energy storage of sufficient capacity to back-up the protected load for a specific time period. A first version of the smaller type tolerates an interruption of power to the load and is commonly known as an Interruptible Power Supply (IPS).

All sorts of electronics - cell phones, laptops, digital cameras, etc. - are ever-present in today’s society. Nowadays, these electronics are powered from Lithium-ion batteries. Lithium is extracted from two sources: ores and salt brines - in the chemical production, lithium minerals are transformed into basic chemicals such as lithium carbonate, lithium hydroxide, and lithium chloride, which are used to produce many derivatives (Sun et al., 2017, p. 51-52; Wanger, 2010; USGS, 2018). The major processes

Artillery was spread out over the AO to provide maximum coverage to the maneuver elements, Firing batteries were isolated with their supported battalions, they also did not have the freedom to move around. Firing Batteries were set up like an umbrella to cover as much of the AO as they could. This was a new role to them but it was vital under the circumstances. Another change that occurred was that the batteries were very far from their parent battalions to receive the support they needed and the units
