What is zinc-nickel battery
Zinc-nickel battery is a battery with zinc and nickel as the main elements of the electrode. Like nickel-metal hydride and alkaline batteries, it is currently a commonly used household battery.
Battery classification
Batteries can be divided into disposable batteries (primary batteries) and secondary batteries (rechargeable batteries) according to their working properties. Primary batteries are also called non-rechargeable batteries. Common ones on the market are carbon batteries and alkaline batteries. Secondary batteries are what we often call rechargeable batteries. After the power is released, this type of battery can be recharged by a charger and restored to a full state. Common ones are nickel-metal hydride batteries, lithium batteries, and zinc-nickel rechargeable batteries.
What kind of battery is zinc-nickel battery
Zinc-nickel battery is a secondary battery. Zinc-nickel batteries use nickel hydroxide as the positive electrode material and zinc oxide as the negative electrode material. The battery’s charge and discharge function is realized by the movement of electrons between the positive and negative electrodes. The cycle life of zinc-nickel batteries is between 500-1000 times, which can greatly save battery costs.
Why choose zinc-nickel rechargeable batteries
As rechargeable batteries, zinc-nickel batteries can save battery purchase costs and reduce material loss. Compared with 1.2V nickel-metal hydride rechargeable batteries, the voltage of zinc-nickel batteries is closer to that of alkaline batteries, and they have wider applicability.
Zinc-nickel rechargeable batteries will replace alkaline batteries in the future and be more widely used.
