Energizer to Conduct Design Seminars for OEMs on New Zinc Air Battery Technology
introduction of Zinc Air Prismatic batteries, Energizer is taking steps to
provide design information and assistance to portable device designers through
a series of design seminars. Energizer unveiled the Zinc Air Prismatic
battery this year at the Consumer Electronics Show to offer OEMs greater
design flexibility while providing greater run times and enabling smaller
devices.
Energizer plans to use the scheduled design seminars to share simple and
cost effective air management solutions with OEM designers to enable the use
of this battery technology in a wide range of portable electronic devices.
This is one of the significant breakthroughs that Energizer has made in this
technology that now makes it an attractive solution for OEM’s.
“After launching the Zinc Air Prismatic with OEMs at the Consumer
Electronics Show, we are looking forward to working with them in detail to
help them raise the bar for smaller, lighter and thinner devices,” said
Eager
Prismatic battery is there — the design seminars will take execution to the
next stage.”
The design seminars will be held the week of
CA,
providing device designers with the knowledge they need to utilize Zinc Air
Prismatic in their new devices. Specifically, the seminars will feature an
overview of the product technology, a description of the types of air
management needed to allow the battery to perform at its best, an in-depth
look at the battery compartment design and a window dedicated to Q&A. OEM
designers interested in attending a seminar should contact
314-552-6713.
Zinc Air Prismatic Features
Zinc Air Prismatic batteries offer high energy density as well as a thin
form factor. Product innovations include a new five millimeter thin prismatic
(rectangular) construction with the highest energy density of any consumer
portable power solution (either disposable or rechargeable), resulting in up
to three times (3X) more runtime compared to similarly sized alkaline or
lithium ion batteries.
Zinc Air Prismatic batteries use oxygen from the air as the energy source
to provide power. The battery is designed with air access holes which are
sealed with a tab until the consumer is ready to use the battery. One of the
keys to fully utilizing the high energy density of this system is effectively
managing the air access to the battery to optimize performance.
The Energizer Zinc Air Prismatic launch is a global effort designed to
increase product device design around the battery. Energizer Zinc Air
Prismatic will be manufactured in
