PSA evaluating PowerGenix NiZn batteries for start-stop systems

Green Car Congress

Nickel-zinc batteries are chemically similar to nickel-cadmium, but differ significantly in their voltage. The nickel-zinc cell delivers more than 0.4V per cell, an inherent value of the nickel-zinc cell lies in the reduced cell count required for a multi-cell battery. With the additional 0.4V
