Energizer silver oxide batteries are specially designed to meet the varying power requirements of a wide variety of applications such as analog and digital watches, medial instruments, calculators, toys, and other portable electronics. However, they are primarily used for watch and calculater applications. They are ideal replacement batteries for Sony, Energizer, Maxell, Seiko, Renata, Varta, Rayovac, Eveready, Duracell and other battery brands.
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.
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°F for 5 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 AG
2O and conductor.
Anodes are a gelled mixture of amalgamated zinc powder and electrolyte.
Separators of specialty materials prevent the migration of tiny solid particles in the battery.
Gaskets are insulators and sealants molded of nylon.
Can is the exterior battery surfaces made of nickel to resist corrosion and insure 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 1.6 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 salt resistant than similar sized KOH batteries. Both batteries however, exhibit excellent long term salt resistance.
