3.3 ‐‐ Battery Compartment

The design of a Zinc Air Prismatic battery compartment depends on several factors including battery dimensions, battery orientation, and air flow needed to maintain power to the device. Other considerations are the ease of battery insertion and removal, contact materials, reversal protection, and the shape and location of device contacts. In general, consumers should be able to use and replace Zinc Air Prismatic batteries in a similar fashion to AA and AAA replaceable batteries with no additional actions required other than removing the tab from the Zinc Air Prismatic battery prior to use.

Energizer Zinc Air Prismatic batteries are electrically conductive on all surfaces, and flat battery contacts are recommended. Leaf spring contacts are preferred over coil springs as coil springs are more prone to shorting. Positive contact should be made at the positive (+) can sidewall rather than on the air hole side of the battery to prevent unwanted air flow restrictions to the air holes. Negative contact should be centered on the negative (‐) cup bottom (non air hole side of battery) in such a way as to minimize potential shorting between the negative cup and the positive can sidewall. Figure 13 illustrates the recommended contact surfaces for Zinc Air Prismatic batteries.

Contact surfaces area should be maximized to reduce contact resistance. Sufficient contact pressure should also be maintained to ensure consistent electrical connection but not so great as to deform the battery contacts. A contact force in the range of one half to two pounds is recommended.
