SCPS, HELION (Areva Group), SAFT, the University of Nantes (LGMPA) and the University of Montpellier 2 (ICG-IEM-LCVN) obtained the financial support of the ANR (French National Research Agency) for their demonstration program of the potentialities of the new NiZn secondary battery developed by SCPS, for the various industrial stationary applications.

SCPS, a privately-owned and independent French Research Center on primary and secondary batteries, brings an alternative solution for portable electronics with a new silver zinc battery.
The performances of this battery are closed to those of lithium-ion but with much less risks : no fire or explosion because of a water based electrolyte and lack of highly reactive materials.

The huge portable electronics markets (5 billions euros/year with 20% growth for telephones, computers, organizers, cameras,…) have required major innovations in the field of batteries.

« Defense Technology International » and « Aviation Week » publish under the heading « Tech Watch » the article « World Class » written by Christina MACKENSIE.

The article describes the activity of a special branch of the US Army which identify non-US new technologies which are of interest for areas relevant to the overall US Army mission.
SCPS‘ NiZn technology is at the fore.

Lieutenant-Colonel W. Collier Slade is at the head of International Technology Center-Atlantic. “He found a small French company, SCPS, which has developed a nickel-zinc battery that is more powerful, longer-lasting and more stable than any other comparable battery on the market. The U.S. Army is very interested, but this is a very small company that is reluctant to deal with us because it is scared of losing control of its intellectual property rights”, Slade says.

“Having the U.S. Army as a client can be a bit overwhelming”, Slade concedes.
