• Electrochemistry similar to Alkaline Manganese thus has similar safety and environmental properties
• MnO2 is replaced by oxygen from the atmosphere
• Higher energy density
• Can be considered "Half fuel cell"

Features

Our zinc-air high power battery line was developed in response to the U.S. Army’s need for lightweight, low cost battlefield power for the dismounted soldier.

We achieved our main goal to double the specific energy of the BA-5590 at a reduced operating cost, and at the same time minimize the environmental impact of spent batteries. These batteries can provide substantial cost savings when deployed for longer missions, even for applications that are not man-portable.

The zinc-air battery is inherently safe in storage, transportation, use and disposal. Danger of fire and explosion is significantly lower than in any other battery technology. Non-hazardous Zinc-air batteries have no special care or handling requirements.
