3 Big Predictions
2 Lithium-ion battery is gaining momentum to replace nickel cadmium
chemistry within a decade
3 LTE (4G) services, high speed internet (above 100 Mbps) demand more
BTS for better communication and higher penetration, creates demand for
batteries
1 Advancements in wireless data transmission demands high infrastructure
growth that boosts demand for high performance batteries for backup
