Methods of manufacturing a rechargeable power cell are described. Methods include providing a slurry or paste of negative electrode materials having low toxicity and including dispersants to prevent the agglomeration of particles that may adversely affect the performance of power cells. The methods utilize semi-permeable sheets to separate the electrodes and minimize formation of dendrites; and further provide electrode specific electrolyte to achieve efficient electrochemistry and to further discourage dendritic growth in the cell. The negative electrode materials may be comprised of zinc and zinc compounds. Zinc and zinc compounds are notably less toxic than the cadmium used in NiCad batteries. The described methods may utilize some production techniques employed in existing NiCad production lines. Thus, the methods described will find particular use in an already well-defined and mature manufacturing base.

What is claimed is: 1. A method of manufacturing a rechargeable power cell, said method comprising the steps of: applying a zinc negative electrode material to a first carrier sheet having first and second opposing and substantially planar surfaces such that a first electrode is formed, wherein the zinc negative electrode material is a slurry including zinc oxide and an organic dispersant to reduce agglomeration of the zinc oxide; burning out the organic dispersant in the negative electrode material by heating the negative electrode material at an elevated temperature thereby improving the high rate performance of the negative electrode material; applying a nickel positive electrode material to a second carrier sheet having first and second opposing and substantially planar surfaces such that a second electrode is formed; disposing one separator sheet along the first planar surface of the first electrode, a second separator sheet along the second planar surface of the first electrode, a third separator sheet along the first planar surface of the second electrode, and a fourth separator sheet along the second planar surface of the second electrode such that the first electrode and the second electrode are separated by only two separator sheets to form a cell assembly; and winding the electrodes and sheets such that a cell assembly having a first end and a second end is formed and such that the first electrode, the second electrode, and the separator sheets are substantially co-parallel. 2. The method of claim 1 further comprising: attaching a first internal terminal with the first end of the cell assembly such that only the negative electrode is in electrical communication with the first internal terminal; attaching a second internal terminal with the second end of the cell assembly such that only the positive electrode is in electrical communication with the second internal terminal; inserting the cell assembly into a retaining vessel; filling the retaining vessel containing the cell assembly with an electrolyte; and sealing the retaining vessel such that the electrolyte and the cell assembly is substantially isolated from the environment. 3. The method of claim 1 further comprising: initially charging the rechargeable power cell according to a defined charging curve; individually testing the rechargeable power cell such that the rechargeable power cell is grouped by charge/discharge similarities. 4. The method of claim 1 wherein the negative electrode material is comprised of zinc oxide, bismuth oxide, aluminum oxide, hydroxyethyl cellulose, and the organic dispersant and wherein the positive electrode material is comprised of nickel hydroxide, zinc oxide, cobalt oxide, and carboxymethyl cellulose. 5. The method of claim 1 wherein the negative electrode material is comprised of calcium zincate, bismuth oxide, aluminum oxide, hydroxyethyl cellulose, and the organic dispersant and wherein the positive electrode material is comprised of nickel hydroxide, zinc oxide, cobalt oxide, and carboxymethyl cellulose. 6. The method of claim 1 wherein the first carrier sheet is comprised of copper or an alloy of copper. 7. The method of claim 6 wherein the first carrier sheet is comprised of perforated copper or an alloy of copper. 8. The method of claim 6 wherein the first carrier sheet is comprised of expanded copper or an alloy of copper. 9. The method of claim 1 wherein the second carrier sheet is comprised of nickel. 10. The method of claim 1 wherein the positive electrode material is a slurry or paste. 11. The method of claim 1 wherein the two separator sheets separating the first and second electrode comprise at least one microporous polyolefin layer. 12. The method of claim 1 wherein the negative electrode material comprises zinc oxide having at most about 1% by weight carbonate. 13. The method of claim 2 wherein the first terminal and the second terminal are attached to the cell assembly by any of the following techniques: spot welding, laser welding, sonic welding, or soldering. 14. The method of claim 13, wherein the first terminal is attached to the negative electrode by laser welding, wherein the laser is moved across the first terminal in a cross pattern or other tracking method that maximizes the number of weldments. 15. The method of claim 1, wherein the elevated temperature is at least about 300 C.
