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.
The first generation rechargeable alkaline batteries were introduced by Union Carbide and Mallory in the early 1970s. [3] [5] Several patents were introduced after Union Carbide's product discontinuation and eventually, in 1986, Battery Technologies Inc of Canada was founded to commercially develop a 2nd generation product based on those patents, under the trademark "RAM".
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 .
A Li-ion 1.5V AA-size battery, sold by the Chinese company Kentli as "Kentli PH5" since 2014 and with similar batteries later available from other suppliers is a AA-sized battery housing containing a rechargeable 3.7 V Li-ion cell with an internal buck converter at the positive terminal to reduce the output voltage to 1.5 V. [19] The Kentli ...
The alkaline battery gets its name because it has an alkaline electrolyte of potassium hydroxide (KOH) instead of the acidic ammonium chloride (NH 4 Cl) or zinc chloride (ZnCl 2) electrolyte of the zinc–carbon batteries. Other battery systems also use alkaline electrolytes, but they use different active materials for the electrodes.
For instance, this 12-pack of rechargeable batteries is just $10, with a unit price of $0.86 per battery. A 12-pack from Energizer is almost double the price at $17. A 12-pack from Energizer is ...
A Battery: Eveready 742: 1.5 V: Metal tabs H: 101.6 L: 63.5 W: 63.5 Used to provide power to the filament of a vacuum tube. B Battery: Eveready 762-S: 45 V: Threaded posts H: 146 L: 104.8 W: 63.5 Used to supply plate voltage in vintage vacuum tube equipment. Origin of the term B+ for plate voltage power supplies.
Apparently somewhere around 1967-1971 or so, the Mallory Battery Company (now Duracell) offered an alkaline reserve battery as a consumer product. This could be kept on the shelf for years, then turning a screw in the top of the battery would break an internal electrolyte resevoir and make it ready to use.
