1) Zinc-carbon cells (primary batteries)The most commonly found battery type because of it’s low production costs and wide availability, although they are characterized by poor efficiency especially when used in appliances that require a high current drain (more than 100 [mA]. The cathode is made as a carbon rod with pulverized manganese dioxide(MnO₂)-black manganese-placed around it. The anode is made from zinc in the shape of a container. The electrolyte is the water solution of ammonium chloride or zinc chloride.
