Contact Materials:

Nickel plated stainless steel is recommended because it provides good conductivity and environmental stability at a reasonable cost. Nickel plating must be adherent, continuous, and non‐porous. The nickel plating must also resist the wear that occurs during the insertion and extraction of batteries. The suggested plating thickness is 5‐6 micrometers.

Battery Orientation:

How the battery is situated in the compartment is an important design consideration. The location of the air access path, plenum, and seal are determined by the facing of the battery air holes. The orientation of the air hole side of the battery also influences the location of the electrical contacts. Determining the facing of the battery air holes is generally a function of device use and the position of the battery compartment within a device. Figure 14 presents an example of a device which orients a Zinc Air Prismatic battery with the air holes facing the compartment door. The cover holds the battery in place and does not restrict air flow to below what is required for device operation.

Reversal Protection:

Battery reversal protection is recommended for battery operated devices to prevent against possible damage to a device or battery if a battery is inserted incorrectly. Reversal protection can be mechanical or electronic, depending on the device. An example of mechanical reversal protection is a design feature in the battery compartment that only allows the battery to be inserted with the correct polarity. This can be accomplished by including a raised lip or ridge that conforms to the battery contour when inserted in the correct polarity. The recommended location of the rib for Energizer Zinc Air Prismatic batteries is where the recessed edge around the non air hole side of the battery fits into the compartment.

Battery Dimensions:

Similar to other battery systems, Zinc Air batteries can bulge slightly under normal discharge conditions as zinc is converted to zinc oxide in the intended reactions. Energizer recommends designing devices around standard industry dimensions where available. Typical dimensional specifications for Energizer Zinc Air Prismatic batteries, including consideration for possible bulge, can be found on the respective datasheets.
