Batteries using zinc-air technology are energized only when atmospheric oxygen is absorbed into the electrolyte through a gas-permeable, liquid-tight membrane. With the removal of a sealing tab, oxygen from the air is introduced into the cell. A zinc-air battery usually reaches full operating voltage within 5 seconds of being unsealed. The zinc-air system, when sealed, has excellent shelf life, with a self-discharge rate of only 2 percent per year. Zinc-air batteries are available in button sizes for direct replacement of other button types, but recently introduced coin-sized versions are designed for pagers as well as personal medical equipment, such as cardiac monitors and transmitters.
