Zinc Matrix Selects Tyco as Manufacturing Provider

Advanced silver-zinc battery developer Zinc Matrix Power Inc. has selected Transpower, a unit of Tyco Electronics Corp., as a manufacturing provider in preparation for high volume production ramp-up. This agreement comes on the heels of Zinc Matrix Power's recent decision to establish and staff its own pilot production facility in Camarillo, California.

Tyco Electronics, part of Tyco International, is one of the world's largest suppliers of electronic components, including batteries, energy power supplies, and innovative power supply products.

Zinc Matrix Power has developed and patented advanced, rechargeable silver-zinc battery technology that can deliver as much as two times the energy in a similar volume as current lithium-ion batteries, while being substantially safer to operate due to its lithium-free, waterbased chemistry.
