alkaline cell

An alkaline cell can provide between three and five times capacity.

For photographic purposes, alkaline cells are the best type to use.

It has more power than batteries with zinc, like alkaline cells.

Alkaline cells can be tossed without too great a dent in the wallet.

It is made in an alkaline cell when it dies.

It is used in alkaline cells and nicads as an electrolyte.

If the flash is used half the time, the alkaline cells should last 25 rolls of 24-exposure film, Nikon says.

However, the 1.5 V of a primary alkaline cell refers to its initial, rather than average, voltage.

They have largely been replaced by alkaline cells.

If you're off in the wilds and can't find lithium, switch back to standard alkaline cells.

Lithium cells will also provide better performance in cold weather than alkaline cells.

Potassium hydroxide is used in the electrolyte of alkaline cells.

Average current consumption is about 170 A which ensures a battery life in excess of twelve months if alkaline cells are used.

The alkaline cell and the Leclanche cell are the ones that use zinc the most.

The voltage of alkaline cells decreases steadily during most of the discharge cycle.

One battery maker, Duracell, stamps an expiration date on packages of its alkaline cells.

A fresh charge will not usually last as long as a fresh alkaline cell will, in use or on the shelf.

This will cause a battery level indicator to overstate the remaining charge if it was designed to read only the voltage curve of alkaline cells.

A Ni-Cd cell has a lower capacity than that of an equivalent alkaline cell, and costs more.

Unlike Leclanche cells, the alkaline cell delivers about as much capacity on intermittent or continuous light loads.

But there is an exception: some cameras are designed to accept either a special lithium battery or two AA alkaline cells.

Lithium batteries can be used in place of ordinary alkaline cells in many devices, such as clocks and cameras.

In powerful lights with high current draw, the high internal resistance of alkaline cells results in decreased effective capacity.

Translation: Most cameras that use replaceable lithium batteries also can be powered by a set of alkaline cells, but not vice versa.

A nickel cadmium cell provides less voltage than an alkaline cell, so the two types are not always interchangeable.
