Abundant, green, safe,
reliable, versatile…
Meet Zinc, the metal and technologies set to transform energy storage.
An electrifying past
Did you know that Allessandro Volta relied on zinc to build the world’s first battery two Centuries ago? Or that Thomas Edison patented a NiZn battery in 1901? And that zinc remains the primary electrode in today’s consumer AA, AAA, C, D, and 9-volt batteries?
A bright future
Zinc batteries offer a wider operating temperature range, longer calendar life, and a lower cost per kilowatt hour than today’s leading batteries, including lithium. They can also support long-duration storage, are environmentally friendly and sustainable.
What Sets Zinc Apart?
Unrivaled Performance
Zinc batteries offer flexible designs with the broadest operating temperatures, highest power discharge in seconds to one hour, and long-duration storage.
Safest Battery Technology
Zinc batteries are non-flammable and recommended in applications where physical safety is essential.
Sustainable
Zinc batteries are non-toxic, recyclable, and made from abundant and inexpensive materials.
One Size Doesn’t Fit All
Technology that caters to your application. No other chemistry has as much potential, or offers as many options for scalability.
