This paper presents an introductory discussion of the general characteristics and advantages of the silver-zinc, manually activated, rechargeable battery. Cycle-life limitations are discussed and the test results of a cycle-life improvement study, completed in 1995, are provided. The results of this study indicate a significant improvement in cycle-life over the baseline design for certain variations in the separator system. The silver-zinc (Ag-Zn) battery system has been uniquely efficient to satisfy high energy density applications in a very extensive range of commercial, military, aerospace and marine applications. These programs have demonstrated the high reliability and safety of this battery system for over forty years.
