The invention is a method for increasing the airflow to a zinc-air battery such that the energy density is 500 mwh/cc to 1000 mwh/cc. This allows 8 to 16 hours use as a primary (throw-away) battery, with, for example, high-duty cycle, high-drain cochlear implants, and neuromuscular stimulators for nerves,...http://www.google.com/patents/US6879855?utm_source=gb-gplus-sharePatent US6879855 - Zinc air battery and its uses
