Raise three times the power zinc-air battery is about to enter practical
Norway’s SINTEF research institutes hope that the next launch of zinc-air rechargeable batteries, so that the use of oxygen in the air as the cathode active material, with more than century-old battery technology really came to the public side. A few days ago there has been news that the U.S. VGP-BPS2 battery maker Energizer Energizer also intended to promote the zinc-air battery, but their products are one-time non-rechargeable batteries.
Energizer said that in recent years in zinc-air VGP-BPS2A battery technology research and development to obtain significant results, mainly by improving the intake air volume control technology that allows the battery to enter into sufficient oxygen react, but do not attract too much oxygen affect the life span. At the same time, they also improved the battery to the ambient temperature and humidity flexibility. Is alleged that the zinc-air battery in the same size, the capacity of the existing alkaline batteries or lithium-ion batteries 3 times.
Energizer zinc air VGP-BPS2C battery for the rectangular design, the surface has opened a small hole into the air, the factory closed, when the use of labels. A user opened a tab to get started, but the inevitable, their life will start from this point begun to deteriorate. Energizer said they have received 30 OEM manufacturer of support from the next summer, starting the use of zinc-air battery products, including wireless keyboards, Bluetooth headsets, remote controls, handheld media players, mini-flashlight and so on. The Energizer’s first zinc-air VGP-BPS2B battery will also be available next summer, the first for the PP355 specifications, size 32.2.14.7×4mm, voltage 1.5V, capacity and existing AAAA (9 Hao) battery the same as the price will be and their disposable lithium battery.
