Nickel-Zinc Battery Solution
Solution Overview
At Gerchamp, our patented Nickel‑Zinc battery technology delivers an optimal balance of safety, reliability, and economic value in one streamlined solution. Compact and lightweight , our batteries eliminate thermal runaway risks at the chemical level for inherent safety, while non‑toxic, recyclable materials support high performance with strong environmental compatibility. With robust high‑rate discharge capabilities and stable operation across −20°C to 55°C , they provide consistent power output in challenging conditions. Available from individual battery units to complete intelligent battery cabinet systems , our solutions serve key industries including data centers, railways, finance, petroleum and petrochemicals, emergency systems, and communications infrastructure —all places where safety and reliability can never be compromised.
Aqueous Electrolyte. Zero Thermal Runaway.
The Nickel-Zinc battery system utilizes a nickel hydroxide (NiOOH) cathode and a zinc (Zn) anode, operating in a potassium hydroxide (KOH) aqueous electrolyte with a nominal voltage of 1.6–1.8 V.
Its primary advantage is the non-flammability of the aqueous electrolyte, which eliminates the thermal runaway risks inherent to organic electrolytes. The standard electrode potential of zinc (−0.762 V vs. SHE) further ensures thermodynamic stability against hydrogen evolution, making the system inherently safe even under electrical or mechanical abuse conditions.
Tested Under Extreme Conditions
Nickel-Zinc batteries pass every abuse test — overcharge, short circuit, nail penetration, crush, and thermal abuse — with zero explosion or fire.
Combustion Test — No Fire
Nail Penetration — No Thermal Runaway
Short Circuit — No Explosion
Five Pillars of Nickel-Zinc Performance
Safe & Reliable
Proven across extreme tests — overcharge, short circuit, nail penetration, crush, and thermal abuse — with no explosion or fire. Inherent safety outperforms lead-acid, reducing system complexity and maintenance costs.
High Discharge Rate
3C continuous discharge rate enables rapid, efficient delivery of high-power electricity. Critical for data center UPS, telecom backup, and medical life-support where immediate output is essential.
Wide Temperature Range
Reliable operation from −20°C to 55°C with maintained charge/discharge efficiency and voltage stability — eliminating the need for intensive thermal management systems.
Smaller & Lighter
Half the size and one-third the weight of lead-acid at the same capacity, with higher power density. Simplifies transport, installation, and frees valuable rack space.
Eco-Friendly
Over 90% recyclability with no lead, rare earth elements, or hazardous heavy metals. 25–50% lower greenhouse gas emissions than lead-acid and lithium-ion. Abundant zinc and nickel eliminate conflict mineral dependency.
Most Nickel-Zinc Sellers Are Just Middlemen.
We are the only company in the world that builds it all.
