Zinc Bromide Battery - The zinc/bromine battery is very different in concept and design from more traditional batteries such as the lead/acid battery. The battery is based on the reaction between two commonly available chemicals, zinc and bromine. The zinc/bromine battery can be repeatedly fully discharged without any damage to the battery and has a life of at least one thousand five hundred charge/discharge cycles. This battery is ideally suited in applications that require deep cycle and long cycle life energy storage. The zinc/bromine battery is predominately made with low cost, recyclable plastics and manufactured with techniques suitable for mass production and at low production costs.
