9. Silver oxide - Made as disc shaped ‘button’ cells. - Output 1.4 V. - Delivers a small current for a long
time.
Lithium - Made in standard sizes and as ‘button’ cells. - Output 1.5 V - Produces a small current for a long
time (several years) but can produce a large current for a short time
10. Lead-acid (Accumul ator) - Produces 2 V. - Can deliver very high current. Not portable; lead
electrodes make the cell heavy. - Danger of spilling acid electrolyte. Car starter motors
11. Zinccarbon. 16 cells
