A #zinc–#carbon battery (or carbon zinc battery in U.S. English) is the generic “heavy duty” #disposable battery. It has been overtaken in recent times by the longer-lasting #alkalineBattery. A zinc–carbon battery is a #dryCell that provides #directElectricCurrent from the #electrochemicalReaction between zinc (Zn) and #manganeseDioxide (MnO2) in the presence of an #ammoniumChloride (NH4Cl) #electrolyte. It produces a voltage of about 1.5 #volts between the zinc #anode.

#Frodo may live, but the #ConnectorConspiracy does too.

And don't get me started on why we don't yet have #leakproof #drycell and #alkaline #batteries after all these decades. I'm truly sick of having to clean out (possibly ruined) devices due to leaking batteries..

Oh, Ghu, I got myself started. Sorry..
