Nickel–zinc battery

[4] Nickel–zinc batteries have a charge–discharge curve similar to 1.2 V NiCd or NiMH cells, but with a higher 1.6 V nominal voltage.The European Parliament has supported bans on cadmium-based batteries;[1] nickel–zinc is a good alternative for power tools and other applications.They have low internal impedance (typically 5 milliohms), which allows for high battery discharge rates, up to 50C.)[citation needed] Newer cells which are more powerful and have a life of up to 800 cycles can be an alternative to Li-ion batteries for electric vehicles.NiZn cells use no flammable active materials or organic electrolytes, and later designs use polymeric separators which reduce the dendrites problem.NiZn technology is well suited for fast recharge cycling, as optimum charge rates of C or C/2 are preferred.
