Talk:Battery (electricity)/to do

Restructure according to guidelines in Wikipedia:WikiProject Science, ie. :
- start with a 2- or 3-paragraph summary for the general public, including a brief history of batteries (max 2 names)
- move some material to a new "Applications" section: explain the type of batteries (electrostatic vs electrochemical, ...; rechargeable, ...), and where each is useful; discuss the economics of storage (loss by heat, ...)
- then, explain how it works and its components
- finish with the detailed history
is this article severely vandalised since [1]?
I think it was vandalized, but (given how long it's been since I'd looked at it) there were also improvements. Thanks for the link, which I used to reinsert some of the vandalized material. On the plus side, the "vandalized" version moved excessive history to another entry (yes!), some relevant equations were added, and it seems to have a more unified voice. On the minus side, it deleted some relevant circuit theory (my thanks to whomever provided the figure), some of the essential history of batteries (my own contribution), and some of how they work (my own), all of which I just replaced.
