Narrator:
This is a battery.
Not like the one you might
be using to watch this video.
Those lithium ion batteries
can be safety threats.
These use environmentally
friendly zinc.
Those are bulky. These are ultra-thin.
Those are rigid. These are flexible.
Imprint Energy’s Zinc Poly battery
and its ingenious design could redefine
how and where we use batteries.
Built upon basic research supported
by the National Science Foundation,
Imprint Energy makes their
batteries on a screen printer,
the same kind used
to print t-shirt designs.
Produced from their novel
ZincPoly material,
and tested to ensure
their batteries can be flexed,
stretched and recharged,
all without losing
their stored energy.
The 300- to 400-micron
thick batteries
can be printed from the size
of a wristband and on up.
With its wristband-sized battery’s power
output equal to that of a coin cell,
their small size is already
allowing product
designers to rethink how
our electronics can be designed.
Any shape, any size.
Imprint Energy’s Zinc Poly battery
is unlike anything you’ve seen before,
but something you’ll be seeing soon.
