In the field of medical equipment, the zinc nickel battery has gradually been applied in various scenarios due to its high safety, long cycle life, and stable voltage output characteristics.
What medical devices can zinc nickel batteries be used in
At present, zinc nickel batteries are mainly suitable for use in household or portable medical monitoring devices, such as blood glucose meters, blood pressure monitors, oximeters, etc. Due to their convenience, these devices often require AA or AAA batteries for power supply. For users who need frequent use, traditional disposable batteries may have frequent replacement issues. Therefore, using zinc nickel rechargeable batteries can greatly reduce purchase frequency and save expenses.
Technical advantages of zinc nickel batteries
Voltage of Zinc Nickel Battery
The 1.6V voltage of zinc nickel batteries is close to that of alkaline batteries (1.5V), and can be directly replaced without modifying the equipment circuit. Its low self discharge rate (<3%/month) ensures that the equipment can still maintain power in long-term standby mode.
Discharge current of zinc nickel battery
Zinc nickel batteries can have higher discharge current and instantaneous discharge current compared to other batteries, with a maximum discharge current of up to 12A. This is very advantageous for devices that require instantaneous discharge.
Safety of Zinc Nickel Batteries
Zinc nickel rechargeable batteries use water-based electrolytes and have no risk of explosion. After testing, they will not explode or burn in situations such as short circuits, punctures, cuts, and fires. This is very suitable for scenarios that require high safety performance.
Environmental friendliness of zinc nickel batteries
Zinc nickel batteries do not contain harmful metals such as mercury, lead, cadmium, etc., and are environmentally friendly.
Future challenges
At present, the types of zinc nickel rechargeable batteries in China are relatively limited, so their application scenarios are also greatly restricted. To obtain more applications in medical equipment, it is necessary to expand more types of batteries and improve their process technology.
