Power, Inc., a leading global provider of silver- zinc battery technology, announced the quali-


fication of its automated assembly line for rechar- geable microbatteries. The line’s annual production capacity of one million batteries will meet the initial demand from manufacturers of miniature electronic devices, like hearing aids, cochlear implants and computer watches, as they leverage rechargeable, silver-zinc in their new product designs. The Com- pany has completed development of the two most popular batteries used in hearing aids, sizes 13 and 312, with completion of the 10 and 675 sizes slated for 2011. These sizes are equivalent to the SR41 (312), SR48 (13) and SR44 (675) in primary silver-oxide batteries. Beyond these standard sizes, other button and coin cell sizes will be made availa- ble based upon customer and application needs.


“Our high energy, silver-zinc technology is the key enabler for manufacturers to evolve their new pro- duct designs from disposable to rechargeable batte- ries,” states Troy Renken, ZPower’s Vice President of Product Planning and Electronics. “We are working with several semiconductor companies on charging solutions, and feel our product has potential appli- cation in many other premium electronic devices that could benefit from a non-lithium rechargeable microbattery.” http://www.zpowerbattery.com
