ZPower Silver-Zinc Batteries | Lithium-Ion Batteries | |
| Performance | High energy density in silver-zinc delivers improved run-time over traditional battery technologies. | Limited energy density provides fewer options for cell phone designers. | |
| Safety | Safe chemistry simplifies charging and protection circuitry in battery and phone. | Lithium-ion batteries use temperature protection to prevent overheating. | |
| Environmental Advantages | Key elements can be recycled and reused to make future silver-zinc batteries. | Can be collected for recycling; very little material is reused. | |
| Form Factor | Offer a thin, prismatic form factor along with long battery life and high energy density. | Thin form factor compromises battery life and energy density. | |
| Power Requirements | Optimized for GSM pulse loads and smart phone functions. | Designed for GSM pulse loads and smart phone functions. | |
Notebook Computer Applications
ZPower is working with notebook computer manufacturers to create customized solutions for portable computing requirements. Today’s mobile, on-the-road consumers demand long-lasting, quick-charging, safe notebook computer batteries.

| Performance | High energy density in silver-zinc batteries delivers longer run-time. | Limited energy density provides fewer options for notebook computer designers. | |
| Safety | Safe chemistry simplifies charging and protection circuitry in battery and notebook. | Lithium-ion batteries incorporate temperature protection and other protection circuits to prevent overheating. | |
| Environmental Advantages | Key elements can be recycled and reused to make future silver-zinc batteries. | Can be collected for recycling; very little material is reused. | |
| Form Factor | Thin, prismatic form factor allows for thin notebook batteries. | Most notebook computers use 18mm cylindrical cells which prevent thinner batteries. | |
| Cell Size | Variety of cell sizes allows battery pack to fit into convenient locations. | Standardized cell size limits where battery must be located in notebook computer. | |
| Power Requirements | Silver-zinc battery is optimized for notebook loads. | Standard 18650 cells are general purpose and over-designed for most notebook operating conditions. | |
