What is NiZn?
Nickel Zinc is a chemistry compound first introduced by Thomas Edison almost a hundred years ago. Originally the technology was put to use in electric vehicles until the gasoline engine emerged as the technology of choice for automobile propulsion. However, with new breakthroughs in engineering, NiZn has become the new cost effective, safe battery solution for everything from consumer AA batteries to power tool packs to high-power motor driven vehicles.
Advantages of NiZn
# High Energy Density – The PowerGenix high discharge battery has up to a third more the energy density of a traditional nickel-cadmium (NiCd) battery when measured by either weight (Watt hours per kilogram) or by volume (Watt hours per liter).
# Superior Power Density – The PowerGenix high discharge battery delivers a higher voltage in a smaller and lighter package than other rechargeable batteries. PowerGenix has assembled a traditional 19.2 volt pack into the form factor of a 14.4 volt pack, representing a 25% lower cell requirement that also delivers higher power and a 45% lower impedance, resulting in significantly higher torque.
# Lower Cost – Inherently less expensive, zinc provides a significant cost savings over other rechargeable batteries.
# Safety – NiZn is a proven safe chemistry that is abuse-tolerant.
# Speedy Recharge – The PowerGenix high discharge battery is capable of completely recharging in less than two hours and achieves 80% recharge within one hour, a key benefit for cordless power tools, electronics and many other applications.
# Cycle life – The service life of the high discharge battery meets or beats that of most NiCd batteries in typical applications.
# Long Shelf Life – Superior to lead-acid batteries which will sulfate over time limiting their shelf life, the PowerGenix NiZn high discharge battery has a significantly longer shelf life.
# Environmentally Green – Both nickel and zinc are non-toxic and recycled easily and inexpensively. The zinc electrode contains no lead, cadmium or mercury, and presents no threat to the environment, making it an ideal replacement for lead and cadmium batteries.
Some Frequently asked questions
Who is PowerGenix?
PowerGenix is an environmentally friendly advanced battery company based in San Diego, CA. We have developed and patented a high-power and low-cost Nickel-Zinc battery for power intensive electronics, toys, power tools and hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs), providing an effective and environmentally friendly recyclable alternative to existing battery technologies.
# Why should consumers consider purchasing rechargeable batteries instead of disposables?
Rechargeable batteries provide a lower total cost of ownership over the product lifetime. And, seeing as over 2 billion alkaline batteries end up in landfills each year, rechargeables are clearly the better choice for the environment.
# What makes PowerGenix batteries better than other rechargeable batteries?
PowerGenix’s batteries are a great choice for consumers because they provide the higher power performance of a disposable battery, the environmental benefits of rechargeables, and the peace of mind that comes from being nontoxic. In short – they’re the best of all battery worlds.
# Is Nickel-Zinc recyclable?
Nickel-Zinc is the most recyclable battery chemistry on the market. Unlike many other materials, both nickel and zinc can be recycled again and again while maintaining their physical and chemical properties, because the same amount of each element remains at the end of a product cycle as at the beginning.
