For the myriad of equipment the requirements for battery power cover a wide range of environmental and electrical conditions for both operation and storage.

In normal "commercial" markets numerous types of battery chemistries and designs can be tailored to suite a given application. However, for military applications, the demands placed upon the battery system require that the battery perform to extremes of temperature and mechanical abuse. Today's military equipment is required to operate in dry desert heat, humid tropical jungles and in cold arctic conditions, as well as submerged in water or dropped from planes and helicopters.
