Silver-Zinc Battery to Debut
Zinc Matrix Power of Camarillo, CA will debut its silver-zinc battery at the Intel Developer Forum in San Francisco on Sept. 26-28. Zinc Matrix Technology™ is an advanced sealed maintenance-free version of silver zinc technology which has been used by the military and NASA for over 50 years. The batteries offer an extremely high ratio of energy to volume (Wh/l) in applications such as notebook computers, cell phones, and on-body power for military electronics with up to 2X the runtime of lithium-ion battery packs of the same size. Zinc Matrix Technology™ is a long life sealed variant of the military battery having these advantages: Advanced, low resistance polymer matrix and separator formulas Ultra-thin electrodes Ultra-thin walled plastic cases, yielding a very high active material to case ratio Mixed mode AgO + super oxide chemistries The result of these technologies is that our standard 12 Ah medium rate cell can achieve about 200 Wh/kg at low rates and over 800 W/kg...Posted by dymaxion at October 3, 2006 11:13 PM
