Aquacell batteries just need ordinary water to start working. These batteries use copper-magnesium cells activated by water or a liquid.
Another water-activated battery had been invented by Susumu Suzuki of Total System Conductor. Aluminium anodes are used on many water-activated batteries designed for use with salt water such as seawater.
The HydroPak uses water-activated disposable fuel cartridges as an alternative to lead acid battery packs and portable generators. It uses water added to sodium borohydride which releases hydrogen fuel for a proton exchange membrane fuel cell. It can be re-charged simply by replacing the fuel cartridge rather than the lengthy recharging that other batteries require.
Because they do not start to produce power until water is added, aquacell batteries have an infinite shelf life.
Aquacell uses recycled plastic instead of steel and replaces most other heavy metals so we don’t have to deplete the planet of its valuable resources 1000mAh AA size 1.5V battery.
Recyclable and with an infinite battery life: this is the promise of AquaCell’s creators, a new ecological battery that is a true marvel.
To activate Aquacell, you just need two things: a few minutes of patience and water. If you dip the battery for five minutes in water, it will fill with energy!
This revolutionary green marvel comes from the East, the inventor is Niels Bakker, a Dutchman who lives in Hong Kong. Simply unscrew the cap, made of recycled corn, soak it in water for 5 minutes and you’ll have some new energy.
The inventor has decided to stick with the name AquaCell to make its connection to water obvious and easily recognizable.
The only drawback is the duration of use: this battery does not last as long as conventional batteries, but this slight handicap is balanced by the fact that AquaCell contains much less toxic heavy metals than any batteries that are commercially found. In addition, it is 85% recyclable and contains only 1.6 grams of zinc needed to establish the chemical reaction.
