Silver used in Battery’s and Electronics


Silver oxide and zinc batteries have twice the capacity of lead-acid batteries, making them the power source of choice for television and film crews, aircraft and submersibles. These batteries feature a water-based chemistry, and contain no lithium or flammable liquids. These are becoming the batteries of choice in mobile phones and laptop computers.

The excellent electrical conductivity of Silver makes it a natural choice of everything from printed circuit boards to switches and TV screens. Silver based inks are applied to composite boards to create electrical pathways. These inks can be used to produce ‘Radio Frequency Identification’ (R.F.I.D.) Tags. These are antennas which prevent theft and allow easy inventory control.
