Have you missed capturing an important moment because the flash on your digital camera didn’t cycle fast enough? Maybe it was the rechargeable batteries and not the camera itself. PowerGenix showed us a new generation of rechargeable battery that even made the lighting kit on our video camera for this interview last longer and shine brighter. And it’s not just for cameras, it’s for all kinds of products that use batteries – even the ones that say don’t use rechargeables. Watch this interview with Dan Squiller of PowerGenix at Lunch at Piero’s media and innovator event during CES 2010 and go out and buy yourself some new, green rechargeable batteries.
Rechargeable batteries are great but up till now, they have never been powerful enough to match the high performance expectations of consumers. PowerGenix is looking to change that with their cost effective, safe battery solution perfect for high power motor and portable electronics. PowerGenix’s Nickel-Zinc (NiZn) battery chemistry is the first chemistry to come to market in more than twenty years. Compared to traditional AA batteries, NiZn batteries have a number of advantages:
* SuperiorPerformance: More power than standard AA rechargeables (1.6V NiZn vs. 1.2V NiMH), NiZn provides the same power as AA alkaline batteries for longer runtime and quicker electronic recovery time with improved performance in high drain devices like digital cameras and flashlights,
* Environmentally friendly: NiZn is expanding the market for rechargeables and helping reduce harmful ewaste, * Safe: NiZn contains no lead, cadmium, mercury or other toxic heavy metals and is 100% nontoxic and non-combustible.
