What features should consumers consider before purchasing a rechargeable battery, and how does PowerGenix stack up to the competition?
It is important to look at how the various battery chemistries perform on a number of different fronts before making a decision about which type to choose. In terms of safety, cost, shelf life, cycle life and environmental impact, PowerGenix’s batteries stack up well against the competition. Here’s how: • Power: PowerGenix’s batteries deliver 1.6 volts of power, allowing users to get full performance out of their devices. To put this in context, most electronic devices are designed to perform optimally with disposable alkaline batteries, which deliver 1.5 volts of power. However, traditional rechargeable batteries (NiMH and NiCd chemistries) deliver only 1.2 volts, which causes devices to under-perform. This meant that consumers had to choose between performance and the environment when choosing a battery. With PowerGenix, for the first time there is no penalty for using rechargeables. • Safety: NiZn is 100% safe, completely non-toxic (unlike NiCd) and non-combustible (unlike Li-ion).
