While Li-ion batteries are abundant in everyday life from smart phones to electric vehicles, there are a lack of educational resources that can explain their operation, particularly their rechargeable nature. It is also important that any such resource can be understood by a wide range of age groups and backgrounds. To this end, we describe how modified tower block games sets, such as Jenga, can be used to explain the operation of Li-ion batteries. The sets can also be utilized to explain more advanced topics such as battery degradation and challenges with charging these batteries at high rates. In order to make the resource more inclusive, we also illustrate modifications to prepare tactile tower block sets, so that the activity is also suitable for blind and partially sighted students. Feedback from a range of groups supports the conclusion that the tower block sets are a useful tool to explain Li-ion battery concepts.

电池技术的构建基块：使用改进的塔式基块游戏集来解释和帮助理解可充电锂离子电池。

尽管从智能手机到电动汽车，锂离子电池在日常生活中都很丰富，但缺乏可以解释其操作，尤其是可充电性的教育资源。同样重要的是，任何这样的资源都可以被广泛的年龄段和背景所理解。为此，我们描述了如何使用改良的塔式积木游戏集（例如Jenga）来解释锂离子电池的操作。这些工具还可以用来解释更高级的主题，例如电池退化以及以高速率为这些电池充电的挑战。为了使资源更具包容性，我们还举例说明了一些修改，以准备触觉式塔楼组合，因此该活动也适合盲人和弱视学生。
