Rechargeable Zinc-Air battery moves closer to commercialization
Wow!Â* Looking at the atomic mass of each, that would be about a 50%
increase (~65 for Zn and 16 or O) if all of the zinc was oxidized! Now
I'm no chemist, that that looks HUGE to me!

One of the funny things with true metal air batteries is that they gain weight as they discharge (Zn = ZnO2), and surprisingly (cough) no promoter of the tech quotes Wh/kg for discharged batteries, which is what you'll be carrying around... they partially look so attractive because of that little cheat!
