PowerGenix has developed a high-energy density, high-cycle life and low-cost sealed nickel-zinc (NiZn) battery ideal for high discharge rate applications. The technology offers compelling performance advantages over nickel-cadmium and nickel-metal hydride batteries. Most notable is a 30% weight and size reduction coupled with a power density of 2.4 kW/kg.
