Military Batteries and Chargers for Military Applications

Electric Fuel produces zinc-air batteries for the US military.The Military Power Source activity incorporates two centers of excellence. The “Battery Pack and Charger” activity focuses on the development and production of high-end primary and secondary batteries and associated chargers. Our know-how has a high added value in that as military Power Sources are becoming more complex, there are only a handful of manufacturers worldwide with the appropriate capability. While we purchase the electrochemical cells, all related activities to manufacture batteries or chargers are done in-house.

The second center of excellence is the “Zinc-Air Battery Technology” activity which concentrates on our historical line of business, developing and producing high power Zinc-Air Batteries for the US military. We are the only company to posses a NSN number for “Zinc Air” and thus the sole supplier of this technology to the US military. Our unique expertise in this technological area is drawn from the R&D efforts for over a decade. We manufacture both the electrochemical cells and the battery end product. We are the world-recognized leader in “High Power Zinc-Air”. We are currently being funded to develop the next generation of Zinc Air batteries.
