Learn...

There are some strange-sounding universities around. McDonalds has its famous Hamburger University, where trainees learn how to make burgers. And Cadex Electronics runs an online site called the Battery University, which you can find at http://batteryuniversity.com/.

The site contains hundreds of in-depth articles covering everything you ever wanted to know about all modern types of battery, as found in cell phones, laptops, smartphones and other devices. So if you want the definitive answer about the best way to charge your battery, or how to store it, or how it works, or simply how not to burn down your house while experimenting with batteries, this site is a great place to start. And they won't ask whether you want fries with it, either.
