Zinc nickel rechargeable battery is a new type of rechargeable battery, currently available in several commonly used models at home such as AA, AAA, and D Zinc nickel battery is the rechargeable battery with a voltage closest to 1.5V alkaline battery.
What is battery voltage
The potential difference between the positive and negative electrodes of a battery is called the voltage of the battery. And voltage is divided into open circuit voltage, nominal voltage, cut-off voltage, etc. The voltage of a battery is closely related to its own chemical elements. When the ambient temperature, usage time, and working status change, the output voltage of the unit battery will change. In addition, the output voltage of the battery is also related to the remaining battery capacity. For example, the nominal voltage of NiMH batteries is 1.2V, the nominal voltage of lithium battery cells is 3.7V, and the nominal voltage of alkaline batteries is 1.5V. So, what is the voltage of zinc nickel batteries?
Voltage of zinc nickel rechargeable batteries
Zinc nickel rechargeable batteries have a much higher voltage than NiMH batteries due to their inherent chemical characteristics, with a nominal voltage of 1.6V, making them currently the closest rechargeable battery to the voltage of disposable alkaline batteries. The open circuit voltage of zinc nickel rechargeable batteries is 1.83V, while the cut-off voltage is 1.3V.
The advantages of high voltage in zinc nickel batteries
The voltage of zinc nickel rechargeable batteries is close to that of alkaline batteries, making it particularly suitable for electronic devices that require 1.5V batteries. And higher voltage can provide stronger power source for the equipment, allowing it to have better performance.
Can it be used on devices with 1.2V NiMH batteries
At present, there are many devices on the market that only use 1.2V NiMH batteries as power sources. Such devices have lower voltage requirements and cannot even use alkaline batteries, let alone zinc nickel rechargeable batteries.
Can I use a NiMH charger to charge zinc nickel batteries
The answer is no. The output voltage of NiMH chargers is low and cannot charge zinc nickel batteries.
