Zinc Matrix Offers Travelers a Safer Solution

The U.S. Department of Transportation has issued a list of safety tips for airline travelers flying with batteries and the devices commonly powered by them following several recent incidents where Li-ion and lithium batteries caught fire on board commercial airliners.

Zinc Matrix Power’s silver-zinc rechargeable batteries have an aqueous chemistry that is not flammable or toxic. As a result, the battery technology has powerful safety advantages over traditional Li-ion batteries. The battery contains no lithium or flammable liquids and is therefore free from the problems of thermal runaway, fire and danger of explosion. As a result of the inherent safety, silver-zinc batteries are not subject to airline restrictions, and passengers can travel without worry.

Zinc Matrix Power batteries also deliver improved runtime over traditional Li-ion batteries. And the key components of its silver-zinc battery technology can be 100% recycled and reused.
