A separator for a battery having a zinc electrode. The first embodiment of the separator comprises a microporous membrane and a coating on at least one surface of the membrane. The coating comprises a mixture of cellulose acetate and a surfactant. The surfactant has an active ingredient selected from the group of organic ethers. The second embodiment of the separator consists essentially of a microporous membrane having an effective average pore size of less than 0.045 microns, having a thickness less than 38.1 mu m, having an electrical resistance of less or equal to 5 milliohms-cm<2>, and being adapted for wetting by an aqueous electrolyte. |
