A leaking AA alkaline battery. Alkaline batteries use manganese dioxide and zinc electrodes with an electrolyte of potassium hydroxide.The alkaline battery gets its name from the replacement of the acidic ammonium chloride of zinc–carbon batteries with potassium hydroxide, which is an alkaline.
An AA-sized alkaline battery might have an effective capacity of 3000 mAh at low drain, but at a load of 1 ampere, which is common for digital cameras, the capacity could be as little as 700 mAh. [12] The voltage of the battery declines steadily during use, so the total usable capacity depends on the cutoff voltage of the application.
The company registered its "Duracell" trademark in 1964 and began rebranding under the new name with the intent of marketing directly to consumers instead of industrial and military customers. [1] In 1978, the company was purchased by Dart Industries and renamed Duracell after its alkaline battery brand. In 1985, the European metal alloys parts ...
I've added the battery size (AA), and changed the 33 ohm to 330 mW. Without the full context the 33 ohm made no sense (the battery was powering a boost converter, and the 33 ohm load was connected to the output of the converter, not to the battery). At 1.5V, a 33 ohm load would only draw 68mW. Prevalence 19:59, 12 May 2019 (UTC)
Typical Duracell 9V battery. Duracell Inc. is an American manufacturer of alkaline batteries, specialty cells, and rechargeables; it is a wholly owned subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway since 2016. The company has its origins in the 1920s, through the work of Samuel Ruben and Philip Mallory, and the formation of the P. R. Mallory Company.
Shaped so that it can be inserted into a battery compartment only one way. No longer made by Duracell, nor listed in its official website, but still stocked as of 28 February 2017 by some re-sellers. Typical mass: 1.1 oz (31 g). [142] Disposable equivalent of the Nikon EN-EL5 Li-ion rechargeable camera battery. [141] 7R31: Kodak K 7R31 538 4 ...
Leakage may also mean an unwanted transfer of energy from one circuit to another. For example, magnetic lines of flux will not be entirely confined within the core of a power transformer; another circuit may couple to the transformer and receive some leaked energy at the frequency of the electric mains, which will cause audible hum in an audio application.
The old dry cell is not leak-proof and becomes very sticky as the paste leaks through the holes in the zinc case. The zinc casing in the dry cell gets thinner even when the cell is not being used, because the ammonium chloride inside the battery reacts with the zinc. An "inside-out" form with a carbon cup and zinc vanes on the interior, while ...
