Zinc Matrix Power, developer of new, rechargeable battery technology based on silver, zinc and water, has won Intel's "Technology Innovation Accelerated" (TIA) Award in the Mobility category, presented during the Intel Developers Forum (IDF) 2006 Conference, held September 26 - 28, 2006 in San Francisco. Zinc Matrix Power won the award based upon its demonstration at IDF of a notebook computer using its new silver-zinc rechargeable battery technology. ...
Zinc Matrix Power's technology contains no lithium or flammable liquids and is free from the problems of thermal runaway, fire and danger of explosion. The batteries are also free from the regulations that limit the size of lithium-containing batteries on airplanes. In addition to the intrinsic safety offered by the ZMP cells, a notebook PC battery pack using ZMP cells can be expected to provide longer run-time than equivalent Li-ion based battery packs.
