Nickel oxyhydroxide battery cells. Nickel oxyhydroxide battery Nickel oxyhydroxide battery (abbr. NiOx, IEC code: Z) is a type of primary cell. It is not rechargeable and must be disposed after a single use. NiOx batteries can be used in high-drain applications such as digital cameras. NiOx batteries used in low-drain applications, have a lifespan similar to an alkaline battery. NiOx batteries produce a higher voltage (1.7V) than alkaline batteries (1.5V) which can cause problems in certain products, such as equipment with incandescent light bulbs (such as flashlights/torches), or devices without a voltage regulator. The nickel oxyhydroxide cell is different from a standard alkaline
Zinc–bromine battery available to be plated again at the next charge cycle. It can be left fully discharged indefinitely without damage. A new type of Zinc Bromine battery, called a Zinc Bromine Gel battery, is currently being developed in Australia. It is lighter, safer, quicker to charge, and flexible. The primary features of the zinc bromine battery are: Drawbacks include: Zinc–bromine flow battery providers include: These battery systems compete to provide energy storage solutions at a lower overall cost than other energy storage systems such as lead-acid, vanadium redox, sodium–sulfur, lithium-ion and others. At the negative electrode zinc is the electroactive species.
