MECHANICALLY RECHARGEABLE ZINC-AIR BATTERY.

Abstract

The mechanically rechargeable zinc-air battery is a new power source that has an energy density in the order of 100 watthours per pound, twice that of the closest competing battery system. The many advantageous characteristics of this battery have encouraged its use with portable military equipment in communications, surveillance and other forward area uses. The characteristics and electrical performance of this new battery are discussed and its advantages over other battery systems are illustrated. The applications of this battery in communication, surveillance and other forward area military applications also are described. (Author)
