| ERC's nickel-zinc battery, for example, because of its 30 percent higher voltage can deliver substantially higher energy per unit weight, and requires fewer cells than a nickel cadmium battery, an important feature in electric vehicle design. The lithium-ion battery can be recharged even when it is partially drained, while a nickel cadmium battery needs to be fully depleted before it can be refreshed.
