Re Silver Zinc batteries: I worked on a charging system for the U2 aircraft that replaced the manual procedure used to charge the silver zinc battery that provided backup power in case the primary electrical systems failed. If the battery was used in flight, they would take it out of the aircraft and recharge it on the bench, using an Airman with a voltmeter as a BMS!
As I recall, the cells were rated for 10 charge/discharge cycles and a calendar life of around a year.
