General comment An alkaline battery is a type of primary battery where the electrolyte, most commonly potassium hydroxide, has a pH value above 7. These batteries derive energy from the reaction between zinc metal and manganese dioxide. Compared with zinc-carbon batteries, alkaline batteries have a higher energy density and longer shelf life. They offer a higher voltage, giving off fast bursts of power to items such as camera flashes. |
