Battery Chemistry
Primary batteries are not rechargeable since the chemical reaction that produces the electricity is not reversible.



   Alkaline Primary Batteries       
   Your choices are...
 
      
 
   Zinc-carbon
 
     Available in AAA, AA, C, D and 9-volt sizes, common applications are toys, remote controls, flashlights and other household items.  Zinc-carbon cells, also known as "Leclanché" cells, were the first widely used household batteries. Rated at 1.5 volts per cell, they are much lower in cost compared to alkalines, but also have a lower energy density.
 
   Zinc Chloride
 
     Heavy-duty zinc chloride batteries (ZnCl2) are the result of technological advances in zinc carbon battery manufacturing.  A powdery mix serves as the cathode component of the zinc chloride battery. The mix is made of manganese dioxide (the active ingredient), carbon black (for electrical conductivity and moisture absorption), and zinc chloride electrolyte (which assists the chemical reaction).
 
   Magnesium
 
     As an active primary cell, magnesium has been used successfully in a magnesium / manganese dioxide (Mg/MnO2) cell.  It has twice the service life of a zinc cell of equivalent size.  It is able to retain its capacity during storage due to a protective film that forms on the surface of the magnesium anode.  The cost is competitive.
 
   Alkaline-manganese Dioxide
 
     Containing an alkaline electrolyte of potassium hydroxide, these batteries were developed in the early 1960s and still hold a strong position in today's market.  Alkalines are a very popular, multi-use premium battery. Rated at 1.5 volts per cell, they are available in the common AAA, AA, C, D and 9-volt sizes. They have a very good shelf life and are excellent for high drain rate applications, such as electronics applications.  Alkaline batteries can deliver 50-100% more total energy than conventional carbon zinc batteries of the same size, making them popular for consumer applications. 
 
   Mercuric Oxide
 
     Mercuric oxide batteries (HgO) offer a reliable and constant rate of discharge.  They can be made in a wide variety of sizes, and are intended for use in medical devices. Manufacturers have stopped designing equipment that requires mercuric oxide batteries. However, mercuric oxide batteries may remain in hospital stock for many years for use in older equipment. The shelf life of mercuric oxide batteries is up to ten years.
 
   Silver Oxide
 
     Silver oxide cells (Ag2O) are commonly found as button cells that power small electronic devices such as watches, calculators, hearing aids and other small specialty devices. Rated at 1.55 volts per cell, their advantage is small size, high energy density and long shelf life.
 
   Zinc / Air
 
     The zinc / air cell (ZnO2) is a primary battery (nonrechargeable) that is commonly used for applications such as watches and hearing aids. In relation to their physical size, zinc / air batteries store more energy per unit of weight (in terms of 220 W h/kg) than any other primary type.
 
   Other
 
     Other unlisted, specialized, or proprietary primary battery.

   Lithium Primary Batteries       
   Your choices are...
 
      
 
   Lithium / Sulfur Dioxide
 
     Lithium / sulfur dioxide cells (Li/SO2) are used almost exclusively in military / aerospace applications and have somewhat lower energy density than manganese dioxide-lithium or poly (carbon monofluoride) lithium cells. Their service life and energy density are less than half that of thionyl chloride-lithium cells. For safety, an "emergency" vent structure is required in the hermetically welded case.
 
   Lithium / Thionyl Chloride
 
     Lithium / thionyl chloride batteries (Li/SOCl2) have a cell voltage nominally of 3.6V, a very high energy density, and a good temperature range. The applications are typically computer memory backup power, instruments, and small electronics. The widespread use of this type for consumer applications is limited because of the high cost and concerns about safety and handling. After extended shelf storage times, the lithium anode may start to form a protective film. This film will initially cause a voltage delay when first placed into service. The lithium / thionyl chloride cell also is produced with BrCl additives to yield an increase in cell voltage to 3.9V and an increase in energy density to about 1000Wh/L with overall safer operation.
 
   Lithium / Manganese Dioxide
 
     Lithium / manganese dioxide batteries (LiMnO2) are available as cylindrical cells or as button cells. Their advantages include high gravimetric and volumetric energy densities, high pulse capability, long shelf life, and operation over a wide temperature range.
 
   Lithium / Carbon Monofluoride
 
     Lithium / carbon monofluoride cells (Li/(CF)n) are high energy density batteries available for low weight, long life applications.  The system uses a solid cathode, organic electrolyte and has an unparalleled safety record.  Typical usages include:  aerospace (qualified for space use since 1976), terrestrial, marine, and missiles.
 
   Lithium / Copper Oxide
 
     Lithium / copper oxide (LI/CuO) and lithium-copper oxyphosphate cells were produced until the mid-1990s, when production was stopped. Currently, the use of this technology is limited.
 
   Lithium / Iodine
 
     Lithium iodine cells (LiI2) exhibit outstanding performance (very low self-discharge rate, excellent reliability, very high hermeticity, etc.) but for a limited field of application, in particular for cardiac pacemakers.
 
   Lithium / Silver Vanadium Oxide
 
     Lithium silver vanadium oxide batteries (Li/SVO) are typically manufactured for medically implantable devices such as cardioverter defibrillators, neurostimulators, atrial defibrillators, drug infusion devices, and others.
 
   Other
 
     Other unlisted, specialized, or proprietary lithium primary battery.

   Specialty Cells       
   Your choices are...
 
      
 
   Nonstandard Cylindrical Batteries
 
     Any nonstandard battery or cell with a cylindrical shape.
 
   Battery Packs and Assemblies
 
     Primary or rechargeable batteries packed together with a connector for cellular phones, camcorders, and cordless phones. Also used for PCB level power.
 
   Coin Cell or Button Cells

   Lantern
 
     Common 6V lantern batteries. ANSI / NEDA 918A, 915A, 908A.
 
   Prismatic Cells
 
     Prismatic cells have slightly lower energy densities than cylindrical cells and are more expensive to manufacture. The design of their venting systems may cause them to bulge if the battery is not used or charged correctly.  In this type of cell construction, the anode and cathode are inserted into a rectangular shaped case, with separators between them. This offers improved flexibility when designing battery packs and better use of space than the cylindrical construction method.      
 
   Sachet Cells
 
     The sachet or "pouch" cell is the latest packaging design to become available on the market. In this construction, the typical hard casing that surrounds the electrodes is replaced by flexible foil packaging, maximizing use of space and reducing weight. The foil pouch can be shaped to fit a specific space, and therefore is frequently custom manufactured for special applications.
 
   Other
 
     Other unlisted, specialized, or proprietary specialty cells.
 
   Search Logic:      All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.
