How to choose carbon batteries and alkaline batteries

Time:2020-08-12 10:10:32

Now whether you buy dry batteries in physical stores or online, there are a wide range of batteries of various brands and specifications, but they are nothing more than alkaline batteries and carbon batteries. So whether it is better to use alkaline batteries or carbon batteries, we need to understand the difference between the two and make a choice.


       Alkaline batteryIt is the most successful high-capacity dry battery and one of the most cost-effective batteries. Alkaline batteries use manganese dioxide as the positive electrode, zinc as the negative electrode, and potassium hydroxide as the electrolyte. Its characteristics are better than those of carbon batteries, and the electric capacity is large.


        Alkaline batteries adopt the opposite electrode structure of ordinary batteries in structure, which increases the relative area between the positive and negative electrodes, and uses highly conductive potassium hydroxide solution instead of ammonium chloride and zinc chloride solutions. Change from flake to granular, increase the reaction area of the negative electrode, and use high-performance electrolytic manganese powder, so the electrical performance can be greatly improved, generally, the same type of alkaline battery is the capacity and discharge time of ordinary batteries 3-7 times higher than the low temperature performance, the difference between the low temperature performance is even greater. Alkaline batteries are more suitable for high-current continuous discharge and high working voltage applications, especially for cameras, flashlights, razors, electric toys, CDs Computer, high-power remote control, wireless mouse, keyboard, etc.


Because this type of battery does not contain mercury, it can be disposed of with household garbage, without the need for deliberate recycling.


      Carbon batteryFull name: Neutral zinc-manganese dioxide dry battery, which belongs to the primary battery in chemical power supply, and is a kind of disposable battery. Because the electrolyte of this kind of chemical power supply device is a kind of non-flowable paste, it is also called a dry battery, which is relative to a battery with a flowable electrolyte. Carbon batteries are not only suitable for flashlights, conductor radios, tape recorders, cameras, electronic clocks, toys, etc., but also for various fields in the national economy such as national defense, scientific research, telecommunications, navigation, aviation, and medicine. Carbon batteries are mainly used for low-power appliances, such as clocks, wireless mice and other large power-consuming appliances should use alkaline batteries, such as cameras, some cameras can not support alkaline, so you need to use nickel metal hydride.
