- dimatura 6y agoI don't think it necessarily means non-rechargeable. Since charging usually takes a long time, generally in the field you carry a bunch of batteries charged ahead of time and swap them as needed.
- azalemeth 6y agoThe classic example of a good military-only battery would be those using molten salts as an electrolyte (typically at 150-500 ºC) [1]. Very high energy density (around 74 Ahr/kg [2] compared to LiPo's ~50 Ahr/kg [3]) and very high power density. Not finger friendly.
