The Applied Technical Services Family of Companies (FoC) offers zinc battery testing services that help clients prepare their zinc batteries for the market. Modern society is increasingly eco-conscious, and manufacturers are meeting the demands of consumers by directing their attention toward battery-powered products. However, different types of batteries present different pros and cons, and labs such as ATS offer manufacturers the opportunity to have their batteries assessed to ensure that they’re effective and ideal for the intended application.
What are Zinc Batteries?
Lithium-ion batteries have long been the preferred type of battery for many manufacturers, but interest in alternative batteries is rapidly rising. Zinc batteries are one of the most popular alternatives to lithium-ion batteries. The term “zinc batteries” refers to a diverse group of batteries that use zinc as one of the primary elements in the battery’s construction. Zinc batteries can be easily divided into two main categories, non-rechargeable and rechargeable.
Non-rechargeable
- Zinc-Carbon
- Zinc-Chloride
- Zinc-Air
- Alkaline-Zinc
Rechargeable
- Nickel-Zinc
- Silver-Zinc
- Zinc-Ion
Zinc batteries are best suited for devices and equipment that require minimal energy consumption, which is why they’re often used to power smoke detectors, emergency exit signs, and hearing aids. Zinc batteries are currently being eyed as a potential power source for electric vehicles. Regardless of their intended application, zinc batteries require inspection and testing to confirm their safety and effectiveness. Our lab is well-suited to provide these services.
