Cylindrical Alkaline batteries are produced with a high surface area zinc anode, a high density manganese dioxide cathode, and a potassium hydroxide electrolyte. A cutaway of a typical cylindrical Alkaline battery is illustrated in the following diagram.
Electrochemistry
The rate capability, energy density, service maintenance and low temperature performance of the cylindrical Alkaline system are the result of an electrochemical interation between:
1.A high purity, high density cathode containing a conductive carbon matrix 2.A high purity, high surface area zinc anode. 3. A highly conductive, low freezing point electrolyte solution
The open circuit voltage of fresh cylindrical Alkaline batteries is typically 1.58 Volts. The closed circuit voltage declines gradually as a function of the depth of discharge; thereforegreater hours of service are obtained as the functional end point voltage is lowered. The energy output of Alkaline batteries is less sensitive to variation in the discharge rate and duty cycle than comparable size LeClanche or Zinc Chloride batteries.
The electrochemical inputs of cylindrical Alkaline batteries are greater than that of similar sized Carbon Zinc batteries.
