A zinc-bromine battery is a rechargeable battery system that uses the reaction between zinc metal and bromine to produce electric current, with an electrolyte composed of an aqueous solution of zinc bromide. Zinc has long been used as the negative electrode of primary cells. It is a widely available, relatively inexpensive metal. It is rather stable in contact with neutral and alkaline aqueous solutions. For this reason, it is used today in zinc–carbon and alkaline primaries.
Zinc-bromine batteries provide 20-year lifespans versus lithium-ion''s 10-15 years, with 100% depth-of-discharge capability. Their aqueous electrolytes eliminate fire risks inherent in lithium
