RECHARGE Nickel-Zinc Battery Features
High Voltage
Nickel-zinc battery (NiZn) has an open circuit voltage of 1.8 volts when fully charged and a nominal voltage of 1.6V. This makes NiZn an excellent replacement for electronic products that were designed to use alkaline batteries (1.5V).
NiCd and NiMH rechargeable battery both have nominal cell voltages of 1.2V, which may cause some electronic equipments to shut off prior to a complete discharge of the battery because the minimal operating voltage is not provided.
NiCd and NiMH rechargeable battery may damage your device if the device does not have current control or if it is not built for high current. From the electrical power equation: P = V x I, where power P is in watts, voltage V is in volts and current I is in amperes (DC), a 1.2V battery will discharge higher current compare to a 1.5V battery to obtain the same power. High current will heat up the device if the device is not built for it.
Green And Environmentally Friendly
NiZn batteries do not use mercury, lead or cadmium, or metal hydrides (rare earth metals) that are difficult to recycle. Both nickel and zinc are commonly occurring elements in nature. Zinc and nickel can be fully recycled.
Non Flammable
NiZn batteries use no flammable active material or organic electrolyte.
Good Recharge Cycles
NiZn battery may be recharged up to 300 times or more.
NiMH battery may be recharged up to 1,500 times but it is only achievable under ideal conditions. With factors like memory effect and high temperature generated during charging, the lifespan of the NiMH battery will be shorten before reaching its full recharge cycles.
The New 1.6v NiZn Battery is now available and selling at $22 in a pack of 4!!
The Battery Charger is now available at Red Dot Photo selling at the price of $99!
