Is an electric battery without lithium or zinc feasible?



Looks like it is. The Aluminum | Air battery appears to be feasible. Actually, it is a fuel cell rather than a traditional battery. Well, it is not rechargeable but do not worry. Just pull out the Aluminum electrode and replace it with a fresh electrode. This is just the kind of device needed for a country like India which does not have significant lithium resources. The nice thing is, these batteries can be produced 100% indigenously.

The Indian Oil Corporation (IOC) is in collaboration with Israel for the development of these batteries and IOC (https://iocl.com/aboutus/profile.aspx) is a serious company.

Mahindra is also interested. Maybe the auto-rickshaws will run on these. I pray this happens, the low-grade gas these run on is responsible for most respiratory ailments.
