New batteries could oust lithium-ion

Zinc Matrix Power recently introduced its new rechargeable battery technology which is based on silver-zinc instead of lithium-ion that is pervasive in most rechargeable batteries today at the Intel Developers Forum. There are several advantages of the new batteries over current technology, including being safer, a much longer battery life, and more environmentally friendly as these battery cells are easy to recycle and reused. These new silver-zinc batteries will be available to manufacturers for evaluation and testing purposes early next year. Do you reckon Sony will start knocking on Zinc Matrix Power’s doors in order to avoid the recent debacle concerning its range of exploding batteries?
