Sales distributes zinc air batteries made
by Duracell,
Eveready,
and Rayovac.
Zinc air batteries have a high energy
density. They come in button and 9 volt transistor sizes.
Zinc air cells are 1.4 volts (nominal) and range between
65 to 1,100 mAh in capacity. The recommended discharge drain
is 620 to 39 ohms. If the zinc air cells are kept sealed
their self discharge rate is only 2% per year. Once the
sealing tab is removed the activated cells self discharge
50% of their capacity after 3-12 weeks at 20 degrees C.
The operational temperature range is from -20 degrees C
to +60 degrees C.
Common applications for the zinc air batteries are hearing
aids and medical equipment.
