Batteries are a fundamental part of our society. Batteries are used to:
-
Start your car.
-
Power your watch.
-
Power your laptop.
-
Power your smartphone.
-
Power emergency lighting.
-
Start emergency generators.
-
And much much more!
But how do batteries function? Why are there so many different types? And why have they found widespread application in everything from wrist watches to power stations? After completing this course, you will be able answer all of these questions and many more.
The course is designed to take you from zero to hero concerning batteries knowledge. Even if you already have some background knowledge, this course will serve as an efficient refresher.
Interactive 3D models are used extensively to show you exactly how batteries and their components work.
The course is packed with images, 2D animations, interactive 3D models and 3D animations and high quality written content. Written content has been read aloud so that you can 'learn on the go' without needing to watch the screen constantly.
