As mobile devices shrink and converge to fit our pockets and our imaginations, the information they carry and the services they provide grow at speeds that defy innovation. Every rich media evolution, every streamlined miniaturization brings a better, brighter color display, a new feature – camera, mp3 player – and new, power-hungry applications – games, multimedia, high-speed communication.

First in line to double their energy density will be the mobile communication devices; mobile phones, laptop computers, PDAs, digital cameras and camcorders, and the majority of portable consumer electronics have already outgrown their energy supply. ReVolt’s new technology targets this market, estimated to be worth $4.8 billion in 2008.
The military electronics, industrial electronics, medical products and power tools markets represent an estimated $1 billion in 2008, whilst the electric vehicle market – hybrid cars, electric cars, fork lifts, golf carts, marine engines – is estimated at $2.8 billion in 2008.

Hearing aid and medical market |
Presently, 900 million primary (non rechargeable) zinc-air coin cells are used per year in this market. There is no rechargeable system available to date. Our technology is the only rechargeable system that can currently meet the runtime requirements for hearing aids. It enables new functionality, invites for technological advances and supplies more user comfort by meeting increased power and energy demands. Other applications in medical devices can also benefit from the technological advantages of the rechargeable zinc air battery of ReVolt.

Current technology cannot deliver a battery with sufficient, sustainable energy, which is also compact and cost-effective to produce. Newer fuel cell technology - often cited as a possible solution - actually faces important viability issues surrounding the high cost of raw materials and production, as well as serious questions about reliability.
