Experience
Electric Fuel Corporation is the first and only company in the world to mass-produce high-power Zinc-Air cells for consumer electronics; produce high-capacity Zinc-Air batteries for the US military; and operate a fleet of heavy-duty Zinc-Air powered electric vehicles. Each of these accomplishments reflects our broad expertise in all aspects of Zinc-Air cell and battery technologies. As shown in the following table, Electric Fuels various cell designs are distinguished from each other not only by order of magnitude but also by the technologies incorporated.
Application Cell capacity Design current Cell type Cell structure Air access Zinc type Specific energy Specific power Consumer electronics Portable power for military applications 3.8 Ah 30 Ah 1.5 2.5 A sealed primary cell plastic Underwater propulsion 120 Ah 100 800 A plate/gasket fuel cell metal Heavy-duty electric vehicles 325 Ah 40 200 A unsealed refuelable bi-cell plastic
