What is a Portable Electronic Device?

Portable Electronic Devices or PEDs are those operated by electrical energy and can be ported or moved from one place to another place without affecting their operation or function. Generally, most of the portable devices are battery-operated which means they take an electrical power supply from the battery. The battery may be rechargeable or non-rechargeable. Non-rechargeable batteries are to be thrown out once they are discharged. This type of device does not have any charging circuit so the cost of those devices is very less. But the devices that consist of chargeable batteries have a charging circuit or an additional charger required to charge the battery. So the overall cost of those devices is high. Some portable device uses other sources of electrical energy such as solar energy.
