  • SECONDARY ZINC-MANGANESE DIOXIDE BATTERIES FOR HIGH POWER APPLICATIONS
    Publication number: 20200388828
    Abstract: In an embodiment, a secondary Zn—MnO2 battery comprises a battery housing, a MnO2 cathode, a Zn anode, and an electrolyte solution. The MnO2 cathode, the Zn anode, and the electrolyte solution are disposed within the battery housing, and the MnO2 cathode comprises a MnO2 cathode mixture and a current collector. The MnO2 cathode mixture is in electrical contact with at least a portion of an outer surface of the current collector, and the MnO2 cathode has a porosity of from about 5 vol. % to about 90 vol. %, based on the total volume of the MnO2 cathode mixture of the MnO2 cathode.

  • Alkaline battery operational methodology
    Patent number: 9419289
    Abstract: Methods of using specific operational charge and discharge parameters to extend the life of alkaline batteries are disclosed. The methods can be used with any commercial primary or secondary alkaline battery, as well as with newer alkaline battery designs, including batteries with flowing electrolyte. The methods include cycling batteries within a narrow operating voltage window, with minimum and maximum cut-off voltages that are set based on battery characteristics and environmental conditions. The narrow voltage window decreases available capacity but allows the batteries to be cycled for hundreds or thousands of times.
