At ZincFive, our patented nickel-zinc electrochemistry sets a higher standard for battery technology that not only meets today’s growing power demands, but does so safely and sustainably.
High Power Density Higher power density than alternative battery chemistries
Low Carbon Footprint Fully recyclable, environmentally friendly with a low cradle-to-grave carbon footprint, and not hazardous
Inherently Safe at Cell Level Non-flammable, non-hazardous, and no thermal runaway
Proven Reliability & Long Life Weak or depleted nickel-zinc cells remain conductive, providing highly reliable battery string operation
Unveiling the science of nickel-zinc batteries. In this video we break down the advantages behind our remarkable chemistry. Discover the key factors that contribute to our chemistry’s exceptional power, safety, reliability, and sustainability – qualities that render it an ideal technology for mission critical applications and beyond.
How Nickel-Zinc Battery Chemistry Works
ZincFive nickel-zinc batteries deliver high-rate immediate power that’s safe for people and the planet. Our batteries are a combination of a stable and long-lasting nickel positive electrode and a lightweight zinc negative electrode, capable of high discharge rates. When combined with a highly conductive electrolyte, these rechargeable cells offer high power and energy density with low impedance and no risk of thermal runaway. Immediate power for an always-on world.
Powerful
Compared to conventional lead-acid batteries, ZincFive’s nickel-zinc batteries offer up to three times the power density while being half the size and one third of the weight.

+ View MoreReliable
Nickel-zinc batteries offer superior reliability compared to lead-acid and lithium-ion batteries. The cells remain conductive even when weak or depleted, thanks to the combination of highly conductive electrolyte that does not significantly change composition as the cell ages or varies in its states of charge as well as the lack of positive electrode grid corrosion.
