Silver Batteries

A silver oxide battery, also known as a silver–zinc battery, is a primary cell. It also may be used as a secondary cell. Silver oxide batteries have a long life.

They have very high energy to weight ratio. Because of the high price of silver, these silver oxide batteries have a prohibitive cost for most applications. These silver oxide batteries are available in either very small sizes as button cells where the amount of silver used is small and not a significant contributor to the overall product costs, or in large custom design batteries where the superior performance characteristics of the silver oxide chemistry outweigh cost considerations.
