IDEAL FOR HIGH-PERFORMANCE STANDARD APPLICATIONS HIGH AND MEDIUM DRAIN APPLICATIONS CONTINUOUSLY RELIABLE ENERGY PROVISION LONG SHELF LIFE SUPERIOR LOW TEMPERATURE BEHAVIOR Scan QR code to view product series video. INTRODUCTION In this handbook we describe Alkaline Manganese batteries. These are basically made from the same materials as normal Zinc-Carbon batteries, but offer higher capacity and high drain performance, longer shelf life, better leakage resistance and superior low temperature behaviour. The cylindrical Alkaline battery is composed of Manganese dioxide (+), Zinc powder (-) and...

ELECTRO-CHEMICAL DESCRIPTION The actual electrical current is generated through an outside flow of electrons coming from the anode (Zinc), passing through the attached load and flowing back into the battery at the cathode (from the can into the Manganese dioxide). ELECTRO-CHEMICAL DESCRIPTION The negative electrode or anode is composed of Zinc powder in the shape of a mixed gel. The quality of the Zinc powder and the size of the particles are carefully controlled to ensure there is a good wide surface area during the chemical reaction. This lowers the internal resistance, which is important in...

QUALITY CONTROL What is quality and how to secure the best quality level during the production process of tons of Alkaline batteries in our Belgian factory? The voltage of Alkaline batteries usually ranges between 1.55V and 1.65V OCV (Open Circuit Voltage). 1.5V is considered to be the nominal voltage. The speed of voltage decrease during use is determined by the type of appliance and the load (drain) which is put on the battery. High tech in quality control For us, the best possible product quality is indispensable. We therefore invest an extraordinary amount of effort in quality control of...

Constant current (A) The appliance keeps running on constant drain in A or mA. Constant power (W) As the power should remain constant, the drain in A will increase gradually during discharge as the voltage decreases. Power (Watt) = Current (A) x Voltage (V) In this case, the increasing internal resistance towards the end of the useful battery life will also determine the actual useful capacity of the batteries. The total capacity is of course also strongly influenced by the cut-off voltage. The discharge (continuous or intermittent) and load (light or heavy) largely determine what performance...
