Abstract
Zinc-air batteries (ZABs) are considered a promising energy storage system. A model-based analysis is one of the effective approaches for the study of ZABs. This technique, however, requires reliable discharge data as regards parameter estimation and model validation. This work, therefore, provides the data required for the modeling and simulation of ZABs. Each set of data includes working time, cell voltage, current, capacity, power, energy, and temperature. The data can be divided into three categories: discharge profiles at different constant currents, dynamic behavior at different step changes of discharge current, and dynamic behavior at different random step changes of discharge current. Constant current discharge profile data focus on the evolution of voltage through time. The data of step changes emphasize the dynamic behavior of voltage responding to the change of discharge current. Besides, the data of random step changes are similar to the data of step changes, but the patterns of step changes are random. Such data support the modeling of a zinc-air battery for both theoretical and empirical approaches.

Summary
Global warming and climate change become aggravated as a result of excessive consumption of fossil fuels. Renewable energy technologies have been actively developed and implemented. Renewable energy sources exhibit inherent intermittent attributes. The innate, erratic nature of renewable energy causes operational difficulties i.e., an unexpected imbalance between energy demand and supply, and lowered power quality. The disadvantages of intermittency can be effectively mitigated using an energy storage system[1,2]. Metal-air batteries, as a promising energy storage system, have received widespread research interest. As regards the various types of metal-air batteries, zinc-air battery (ZAB) technology shows great potential and is near commercialization
