Alkaline batteries

Alkaline pencil batteries AA, AAA and others

Alkaline AA or AAA batteries in the form of 1.5V or 9V pencil batteries are high-capacity disposable cells with no rechargeability. Alkaline technology implemented by battery manufacturers Duracell, Energizer, Panasonic or Varta makes it possible to extend the operating time of portable devices, even at high power consumption from the source.

What are the differences between alkaline batteries and ordinary zinc-carbon batteries?

Wireless phones, radio gate remotes, audio players or high-powered LED flashlights not infrequently still require battery power. It happens that their design allows them to use AA or AAA batteries as well as rechargeable batteries. It is always a good idea to have a spare set of traditional batteries or other types of cells on hand in case the rechargeable batteries run out. For electronic devices that require more power, will ordinary zinc-carbon batteries suffice?

Alkaline batteries available in our assortment are characterized by a number of favorable features compared to ordinary batteries. We have outlined the main differences below.

• Case tightness - alkaline cells are distinguished by a much lower risk of electrolyte spillage.
• Performance - especially at low temperatures, alkaline technology batteries are much more efficient, providing longer battery-powered operation.
• Low self-discharge - alkaline batteries last much longer when not in use, retaining their capacity for longer than is the case with zinc-carbon cells.

The last feature we want to highlight is the difference in the average capacity of alkaline batteries and regular zinc-carbon batteries.

Capacity of zinc-carbon batteries: on average 400-1000 mAh.

Alkaline battery capacity: on average 2000-2500 mAh.

It is worth noting that despite the slightly higher price, alkaline battery technology for mobile devices is a sensational choice, especially if you want to power equipment that draws high current from a power source.

Alkaline batteries - capacity, voltage, types.

The various types of alkaline batteries differ in practice in capacity (specified in milliamper hours - mAh), rated voltage (specified in volts - V) and dimensions (often expressed in millimeters - mm). Below are the most popular types of cells in alkaline technology.

• Alkaline AA (LR6, R6) batteries - popular pencil batteries used to power devices such as CD players, head and handheld flashlights and electronic toys.
• Alkaline batteries AAA (LR03, R03) - smaller pencil batteries used in TV remote controls, MP3 players or miniature LED flashlights.
• 9V alkaline batteries (6LR61, 6F22) - cells providing a higher operating voltage of 9V, often used in medical devices and audio or smoke detectors.
• Alkaline D batteries (LR20, R20) - used in devices requiring high power, characterized by a sizable capacity.
• Alkaline C (LR14, R14) - similar to R20, R14 cells are used to power equipment requiring higher capacity (such as large flashlights).

Add that the above-mentioned cells are alkaline-amber batteries enclosed in a sealed cylindrical case.
