Silver Oxide Batteries

Product Details

Premium silver oxide batteries are specially designed to meet the varying power requirements of a wide variety of applications such as: analog and digital watches, medical instruments, calculators, toys, and other portable electronics. They are ideal replacement batteries for Sony, Energizer, Maxell, Seiko, Renata, Varta, Rayovac, Eveready, Duracell, and other battery brands.

  • applications and Features

    Watches, calculators, laser pointers; and portable medical devices such as insulin pumps, thermometers, and other portable electronics.

    Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) electrolyte (low drain) cells are primarily designed for low drain continuous use over long periods of time, typically up to five years. This is commonly found in analog watch applications.

    Potassium hydroxide (KOH) electrolyte (high drain) cells are designed for continuous low drains with periodic high drain pulse demands. This is typical of applications such as LCD watches with backlight, analog watches with alarms and calculators. Life expectancy in these applications is typically between one to three years.

  • Characteristics and Advantages of Energizer Silver Oxide Batteries

    • Higher Voltage than comparable mercury batteries.
    • Flatter discharge curve than alkaline manganese dioxide batteries.
    • Good low temperature characteristics.
    • Good resistance to shock, vibration, and acceleration.
    • Low and essentially constant internal resistance.
    • Excellent service maintenance; in excess of 90% after storage at 70 degree Fahrenheit for five years.
    • Available in voltages ranging from 1.55 to 6.2 volts and a variety of sizes.
  • Battery Construction

    Silver Oxide batteries are currently produced with flat circular cathodes and homogeneous gelled anodes.

    Cathodes
    Are a mixture of AG2O and conductor.
    Anodes
    Are a gelled mixture of amalgamated zinc powder and electrolyte.
    Separators
    Are constructed of specially selected materials to prevent the migration of any solid particles in the battery.
    Gaskets
    Insulating and sealing gaskets are molded of nylon.
    Can
    The exterior battery surfaces of the can are of nickel and resist corrosion and insure good electrical contact.
  • Electro-Chemistry

    Silver oxide batteries contain a cathode of silver oxide with a low percentage of manganese dioxide and graphite, an anode of high surface area zinc, and a highly alkaline electrolyte consisting of either sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide. The open circuit voltage of silver oxide batteries is 1.55 nominal volts. The operating voltage at typical current drains is 1.55 volts or more. Silver oxide batteries offer a higher flat operating voltage characteristic than mercuric oxide batteries. The type of electrolyte used with silver oxide batteries determines their rate or current carrying capability. Under heavy drains, potassium hydroxide (KOH) electrolyte offers less resistance to the current flow and allows the battery to operate at higher efficiency than a sodium hydroxide (NaOH) electrolyte. At low drains both electrolytes operate with equal efficiency. Silver oxide batteries containing a KOH electrolyte are more difficult to seal than those containing at NaOH electrolyte. As a result, NaOH batteries are typically more leakage resistant than similar sized KOH batteries. Both batteries however, exhibit excellent long term salt resistance.
