general purpose batteries

There are 3 types of General Purpose batteries classified by chemistry:

	General Purpose
	Zinc Carbon & Zinc Chloride
	Alkaline

Zinc carbon represent the oldest technology in primary dry battery system "Zinc carbon section"
The cathode is a mixture of carbon conductor and electrolyte...

In an Alkaline battery, the electrodes are zinc and manganese-oxide, with an alkaline electrolyte.
This change in chemistry helps to increase storage density and shelf life of the cells.

Alkaline technology is more sophisticated, lasts longer and delivers superior high-power performance.

Duracell alkaline batteries have...
