Overview of Dry Cell Batteries

1. A dry cell is a type of battery commonly used in portable devices like flashlights. 2. It consists of a brass cap, plastic seal, expansion space, porous cardboard, zinc can, carbon rod, and chemical mixture. 3. Carl Gassner is credited with constructing the first commercially successful dry cell, known as the zinc-carbon cell, in 1881.

History

A French engineer Georges Leclanche in 1566


invented the battery that bears his name.
Leclanchi 's invention, which was guite heavy
Definition and prone to breakage, was steadily improved

over the years. In slightiy modified form, the Commented [i-[2R1]:


A dry cell is a type of electric battery, Leclanche battery, now called 2
commonly used for portable electrical
devices. dry cell, is produced in great guantities and is
widely used in devices such as flashlights and
portable radioe.
But, it was Cari Gasener of Mainz who is
credited with constructing the first commerdially
successful "dry" cell (zinccarbon cell) in the year
1881,
Variations followed, By 1589 there were at least
six well-known dry batteries in circulation.
Types
Primary cells are not rechargeable and are generally disposed
of after the cell's internal reaction has consumed the reactive
starting chemicals.
Secondary cells are rechargeable, and may be reused multiple
times.

Primary cell
Zinc–carbon cell
Alkaline cell
Lithium cell
Mercury cell
Silver-oxide cell
.
Secondary cell
Nickel–cadmium cell
Lithium-ion cell
