The difference between carbon and alkaline batteries

Most people may think that the battery has a good understanding of it. Most people will have wrong behaviors during purchase and use. It is obviously a small current electric appliance but buys a high-current alkaline battery. It is clear that a high-current battery is needed. A small current carbon battery... Let's learn together!

So what is a battery? A battery, also known as a chemical power source, is a device that converts the energy released by chemical changes in a substance into DC power.

So what is a battery again? A primary battery, also known as a primary battery, is a battery that can be used to discharge and cannot be recovered by normal methods after discharge. Such as zinc-manganese dry batteries, lithium manganese primary batteries. The battery cannot be charged.

The development of the battery has gone through four generations:

What is the difference between an alkaline battery and a carbon battery?

Alkaline batteries are 4-7 times the amount of carbon batteries, and the price is 1.5-2 times that of carbon. Carbon batteries are suitable for use in low-current appliances such as quartz clocks, remote controls, etc. Alkaline batteries are used in high-current appliances such as digital cameras, toys, razors, and wireless mice.

The full name of a carbon battery should be a carbon-zinc battery (because it is generally a carbon rod and a negative electrode is zinc). It is also known as a zinc-manganese battery. It is the most common dry battery at present, and it is inexpensive and safe to use. Based on environmental considerations, since it still contains cadmium, it must be recycled to avoid damage to the global environment. Alkaline batteries are suitable for large discharges and long-term use. The internal resistance of the battery is low, so the current generated is larger than that of the general zinc-manganese battery. The conductive is copper rod and the outer shell is steel shell. It is safe and reliable, and does not need to be recycled, such as Changhong mercury-free alkaline battery. Based on its environmental protection, it also has a large current, so now alkaline batteries are used more.

About liquid leakage: Since the outer casing of the carbon battery is a zinc cylinder as a negative electrode, it is necessary to participate in the chemical reaction of the battery. Therefore, it is necessary to leak liquid for a long time, and the liquid leakage will occur in a few months of poor quality. The outer casing of the alkaline battery It is steel and does not participate in chemical reactions, so alkaline batteries rarely leak, and the shelf life is more than 5 years.
