1. A method of using an apparatus for fabricating a zinc plated copper electrode for a zinc anode battery,
the apparatus comprising:
a power supply; and
a container comprising:
a first slot; and
a second slot;
the method comprising the steps of:
placing a zinc sheet in the first slot of the container;
placing a copper sheet in the second slot of the container;
applying a first positive potential to the copper sheet;
applying a first negative potential to the zinc sheet;
passing a first predetermined current density through the copper sheet and the zinc sheet for a first predetermined period of time;
applying a second positive potential to the zinc sheet;
applying a second negative potential to the copper sheet; and
passing a second predetermined current density through the copper sheet and the zinc sheet for a second predetermined period of time forming the zinc plated copper electrode.
