Alkaline Battery ⁽⁸⁾

An Alkaline Battery is a long-lasting, non-rechargeable primary battery based on a chemical reaction between zinc (anode) and manganese dioxide (cathode). It offers a higher energy density and longer runtime than zinc-carbon batteries.

Typical nominal voltages are 1.5V for AA, AAA, C, and D, and 9V for block batteries. They are suitable for devices with medium to high power consumption, such as remote controls, toys, flashlights, and clocks.

Thanks to their low self-discharge, Alkaline batteries have a long shelf life. They are mercury-free and more environmentally friendly than older battery types, but should be disposed of properly. 🔋♻️
