Li-ion batteries pack the most power per unit volume, but excessive charging or discharging can damage or destroy the battery and its surroundings, carefully designed circuits help you avoid such dire outcomes.

This is a simulation of a simple DC power supply based on a full-wave rectifier. This power supply uses center-tapped transformer and two diodes. This type of circuit is also known as a biphase rectifier.
