PowerGenix is the leading developer of Nickel-Zinc (NiZn) batteries a technology that has significant advantages over other advanced battery chemistries in energy and power density, cost, safety, toxicity and recyclability. Compared to Nickel-Metal Hydride (NiMH) batteries, NiZn is 30 percent lighter and smaller. Compared to Lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries, NiZn can provide similar power density at less than half the cost. Additionally, NiZn contains no lead, cadmium, mercury or other toxic heavy metals, is nontoxic and noncombustible, and is easily recyclable. As such, NiZn batteries are an ideal solution for applications that demand large amounts of power in a small, lightweight and safe package, including micro-hybrid (start/stop) vehicles, mild and full hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs), frequency and voltage regulation services (grid storage), and uninterruptibe power supplies (UPS).
