The table below shows the range of applications which use batteries together with typical battery capacities required by the application. The section on Battery Types outlines the diverse range of batteries which are available for powering these applications.
 | Type | Energy | Applications |  |
| Miniature Batteries | 100 mWh-2 Wh | Electric watches, calculators, implanted medical devices (Mostly Primary Cells in small Button Cell packages) | ||
| Batteries for Portable Equipment | 2 Wh-100 Wh | Flashlights, toys, power tools, portable radio and TV, mobile phones, camcorders, lap-top computers, memory refreshing, instruments, cordless devices, wireless peripherals, emergency beacons (Mostly Secondary Cells such as NiCad, NiMH andLithium Ion as well as some Alkaline primary cells) | ||
| SLI Batteries (Starting Lighting & Ignition) | 100-600 Wh | Cars, trucks, buses, lawn mowers, wheel chairs, robots (Mostly Lead Acid batteries) | ||
| Vehicle Traction Batteries | 20 -630 kWh | EVs, HEVs, PHEVs, fork lift trucks, milk floats, locomotives (NiMH and Lithium) | ||
| Stationary Batteries | 250 Wh-5 MWh | Emergency power, local energy storage,remote relay stations, communication base stations, uninterruptible power supplies (UPS). (Mostly Lead Acid with Lithiumrecently making some inroads) | ||
| Military & Aerospace | Wide range | Satellites, munitions, robots, emergency power, communications (Fuel Cells, Nickel Hydrogen, Water Activated batteries and other Alternatives) | ||
