		Nickel Zinc (NiZn) Batteries Characteristics This rechargeable battery like the Nickel Iron battery uses an alkaline electrolyte. Nickel-Zink batteries were developed as replacements for military Silver-Zinc batteries. Cell voltage 1.65 Volts Advantages High rate capability (25C) Good cycle life Fast recharge capability Can be deep cycled down to 100%. Uses low cost benign materials. Shortcomings Heavy and bulky. Low energy density. High self discharge rate. Solubility of zinc in the alkaline electrolyte limited life cycle. Formation of zinc dendrites across the electrodes during recharge results in short circuiting and shortened life. Applications Traction applications Electric Bicycles Scooters Lawnmowers Costs Low cost but higher than Lead acid
