WHAT IS AN AIR BATTERY?

• An AIR BATTERY is an energy storage system

based on electrochemical charge/discharge reactions
that occur between a positive “Air Electrode”(cathode)
and a negative “Metal Electrode”(anode).

• The negative electrode is typically made of metals

such as Li, Zn, Al, Fe, or Na.

APPLICATIONS

• It is commonly used for watches and hearing

aids.
• Larger types are employed as prismatic or
cylindrical cells for telecoms and railway
remote signaling, safety lamps at road and rail
construction sites or as a power sources for
electric fences.
SERVICE LIFE OF AN ZINC AIR
BATTERY

Zinc air batteries can last up to 3X longer than

comparable volume battery systems.   This
service advantage is due to Zinc Air technology
offering the highest energy density for non ‐
rechargeable and rechargeable consumer
batteries.
