2. Dry cell - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dry_cell

   A dry cell is a type of electric battery, commonly used for portable electrical devices. Unlike wet cell batteries, which have a liquid electrolyte, dry cells use an electrolyte in the form of a paste, and are thus less susceptible to leakage. The dry cell was developed in 1886 by the German scientist Carl Gassner, after the development of wet ...

   For batteries that power electric vehicles, see Electric vehicle battery. A typical 12 V, 40 Ah lead-acid car battery. An automotive battery, or car battery, is a rechargeable battery that is used to start a motor vehicle. Its main purpose is to provide an electric current to the electric-powered starting motor, which in turn starts the ...

4. Zinc–carbon battery - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zinc–carbon_battery

   The zinc-chloride cell, frequently referred to as a heavy-duty, extra-heavy-duty, super-heavy-duty, or super-extra-heavy-duty battery, is an improvement on the original zinc–carbon cell, using purer chemicals and giving a longer service life and steadier voltage output as it is used and offering about twice the service life of general-purpose ...

5. Battery nomenclature - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battery_nomenclature

   Battery numbering. IEC 60086 battery type designation system. Examples of the IEC nomenclature are batteries coded R20, 4R25X, 4LR25-2, 6F22, 6P222/162, CR17345 and LR2616J. The letters and numbers in the code indicate the number of cells, cell chemistry, shape, dimensions, the number of parallel paths in the assembled battery and any modifying ...

6. List of battery sizes - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_battery_sizes

   Each cell needs around 1 cm 3 of air per minute at a 10 mA discharge rate. These cells are commonly used in hearing aids. A sealing tab keeps air out of the cell in storage; a few weeks after breaking the seal the electrolyte will dry out and the battery becomes unusable, regardless of use. Nominal voltage on discharge is 1.2 V.

7. History of the battery - Wikipedia

   Unlike previous wet cells, Gassner's dry cell is more solid, does not require maintenance, does not spill, and can be used in any orientation. It provides a potential of 1.5 volts. The first mass-produced model was the Columbia dry cell, first marketed by the National Carbon Company in 1896. [15]
