History of Nickel Iron Batteries Historic Electric Car Running on Nickel Iron (Ni-Fe) Batteries from 1912 to 1997 In North America Ni-Fe
batteries have been out of production since 1973, when the
Exide Battery company bought the process and took them out of production for unknown reasons. Lots to read at the Vancouver Electric Vehicle Association about these batteres.  This car ran from 1912 to 1997 on the same Nickel Iron storage battery. Go to the Vancouver Electric Vehicle Association to read the story! Shown above is VEVA's 1912
Detroit Electric. This car was owned by Mrs. Florence French of
Victoria, BC from 1912 till the 1950s. It was driven regularly until the mid-1950s. Electric cars were popular with the ladies due to the ease of starting, quietness and smoke-free cleanliness. The original Nickel-Iron batteries were replaced in the late 1990s because the cases were failing. After fixing a case leak they still worked fine after 85 years of operation! Visit the Detroit Electric at home in the Stave Falls BC Hydro powerhouse museum, also built in 1912! The museum is near Mission, BC at 31338 Dewdney Trunk Road. Call ahead at 604-462-1222 for hours. Jay Leno owns two of them, and one of them is Ni-Fe powered. His wife drives one of them and she says the worst thing about them is the silent operation which has caused her to almost run over dogs, cats, deer and pedestrians that walk across the road without noticing the car. The BC Provincial Museum in Victoria BC Canada also has one on display running on Ni-Fe batteries. News

Microsec
R&D
Inc wants to collaborate with a local boat builder to create boats
similar to
the plug in electric boat featured at the Chicago Worlds Fair of 1893. This amazing fleet of 55 36 foot long boats carried during two years over a million passengers in an almost silent powered electric boat. They made a profit of over $300,000 in 1893 to 1894. In today's money that is 30 million.  We would like
to collaborate with an established local boat builder in
Victoria BC to
bring this kind of silent tour boat into existence once again. Smaller format boats could be created for family use in the inner harbour or in lakes that have outlawed gasoline engines. Our experience with hydrogen and solar technologies opens the way to hybrid energy sources as alternatives to a plug-in electric design. For many people the plug in electric is the ultimate in simplicity and silent operation. We envision using a submerged electric engine for absolutely silent boating. Our experience with hydrogen and solar opens up the possibilities for charging and increasing the range of such boats. The plug in electric version however is the ultimate in simplicity for tour boats. Modern battery technology will dramatically improve the range as compared to what was possible in 1893. If you are a boat builder in Victoria ... please consider working with us to create electric boats for Canadian waters. We thought we were pioneers in electric boats but historical research has shown that the concept is simple and was popular a century ago! Canada's
