AER Energy Resources Announces Model 4V04 Zinc-Air Battery Prototype
AER Energy Resources Inc. (Atlanta, GA) announced that its new model 4V04 primary zinc-air battery prototype is available for sampling to battery companies, manufacturers of portable electronic products and potential licensees.
The model 4V04 incorporates four high-energy metal-case zinc-air cells, a diffusion air manager and a miniature air mover into a package designed to fit the Nokia 7100, 6100 and 5100 series cellular phones. AER claims that the 4V04 battery can operate these cellular phones up to four times longer in talk mode than currently available lithium-ion or nickel-metal hydride batteries. The battery has a volume of 0.065 liters, a weight of 80g and a capacity of 16 watt-hours.
“This is an important development because the 4V04 prototype battery demonstrates the use of AER Energy technology in a fast-growing portable-electronic product application," commented Frank Harris, vice president of marketing and licensing at AER Energy. “We want to use this prototype to give OEMs, battery companies and potential licensees a hands-on experience with the key benefits of our unique long run-time zinc-air technology. Companies that are interested in purchasing evaluation samples should contact us."
