Abstract | The principal use of batteries in the telecommunications industry k to provide standby or emergency dc power to telephone exchanges in the event of a failure or breakdown in the utility supply. Batteries are also used for standby power in microwave relay stations, for emergency lighting and a variety of other minor uses. Due to its low cost, long life and reliability the lead-acid battery dominates standby applications. Substantial developments are, however, in progress throughout the world to develop secondary batteries for use in electric vehicles and utility load-leveling. In addition, substantial improvements are being made in the development of compact, low-cost primary batteries such as those based on zinc-air and lithium technology. The characteristics of the lead-acid and nickel-cadmium systems are reviewed and the systems under development are then described together with their predicted characteristics and costs. The possible impact in the telecommunications industry of these new developments in battery technology is discussed. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
