A zinc–carbon battery is a dry cell battery that delivers a potential of 1.5 volts between a zinc metal electrode and a carbon rod from an electrochemical reaction between zinc and manganese dioxide mediated by a suitable electrolyte. It is usually conveniently packaged in a zinc can which also serves as the anode with a negative potential, while the inert carbon rod is the positive cathode. General purpose batteries may use an aqueous paste of ammonium chloride as electrolyte, possibly mixed with some zinc chloride solution. Heavy duty types use a paste primarily composed of zinc chloride.
Carbon zinc/zinc chloride batteries were the first commercial dry battery, and are currently available in most common sizes, including AA, AAA, C, D, and 9 volt. They are the least expensive primary batteries, and provide good, low cost performance for general purpose applications such as cameras, remote controls, flashlights, and toys.
The zinc casing of a zinc-carbon-zinc chloride battery also acts as its negative terminal. A graphite rod surrounded by powdered carbon and manganese oxide (added to increase electrical conductivity) serves as the positive terminal. Carbon is a key component of the battery’s construction, but plays no actual role in the electrochemical reaction—it serves only to collect current and reduce the resistance of the manganese oxide mix. “Zinc-manganese cells” would be a more accurate name for these batteries.
Alkaline battery chemistry is the most dominant primary battery chemistry, contributing over 60% of the primary battery market. Alkaline batteries are composed of basic (alkaline) electrolytes of potassium hydroxide. Primary lithium batteries have lithium metal or lithium compounds as anode, while the cathode is likely to composed of any other material depending on the usage and output demand (such as thonyl chloride, iodide, manganese dioxide and the like). These batteries compete with alkaline batteries as these are anticipated to offer output voltages ranging from 1.5 volts to 3.7 volts. Moreover, as lithium is a light-weight material, it is likely to offer batteries of lesser weight. Advantages of these batteries include lighter weight than alkaline batteries (thus, used more in industrial and medical applications), higher energy density offering better performance compared with alkaline batteries and availability in a wide-range of varieties that are likely to be most suited for specific applications. Alkaline and lithium batteries are generally both more technologically advanced and generally more expensive, with a longer battery life, than carbon zinc batteries.
