ELI5 Batteries - what causes lithium batteries to degrade?
ELI5 Explain Like I'm 5: Bite sized answers to stuff you should know about - in a mini podcast
Are there ways we can slow the degradation of our smartphone batteries? Why does it seem like a wireless house phone battery can last for many more years than a smartphone battery? Why do traditional cars lack any decent ability to warn the driver that the battery is low or about to die? Why does hitting a flashlight when the batteries are low keep it working for a short time?
... We explain like i'm five!
