Alkaline-Manganese Dioxide
Introduction
Duracell pioneered the alkaline-manganese dioxide electrochemical system nearly 40 years ago. In the
1960-1970 decade, this battery system rapidly became the popular choice of designers in the ever-widening
field of consumer electronics. The product information and test data included in this technical bulletin repre-
sent Duracell’s newest alkaline battery products.
The zinc/potassium hydroxide/manganese dioxide cells, commonly called alkaline or alkaline-manganese
dioxide cells, have a higher energy output than zinc-carbon (Leclanche) cells. Other significant advantages are
longer shelf life, better leakage resistance, and superior low temperature performance. In comparison to the
zinc-carbon cell, the alkaline cell delivers up to ten times the ampere-hour capacity at high and continuous
drain conditions, with its performance at low temperatures also being superior to other conventional aqueous
electrolyte primary cells. Its more effective, secure seal provides excellent resistance to leakage and corrosion.
The use of an alkaline electrolyte, electrolytically prepared manganese dioxide, and a more reactive
zinc powder contribute to a higher initial cost than zinc-carbon cells. However, due to the longer service life,
the alkaline cell is actually more cost-effective based upon cost-per-hour usage, particularly with high drains
and continuous discharge. The high-grade, energy-rich materials composing the anode and cathode, in conjunc-
tion with the more conductive alkaline electrolyte, produce more energy than could be stored in standard zinc-
carbon cell sizes
General Characteristics
The general characteristics listed below are a summary of the significant benefits of the alkaline man-
ganese dioxide system. Each of the benefits is explained in greater detail subsequently in Section 5. This sum-
mary provides the designer with general guidelines for evaluating the alkaline-manganese dioxide system for a
particular application.
Benefits include:
•
•
•
•
•
Up to ten times the service life of regular zinc-car-
bon cells.
Long service life at continuous, high drain discharge.
No need for “rest periods.”
Low internal resistance.
Rugged, shock-resistant construction.
•
•
•
•
•
Cost-effective on a cost-per-hour-of-service basis.
Good low temperature performance.
Excellent leakage resistance.
Long shelf life.
Worldwide availability at retail.

Performance Characteristics (cont.)
performance of alkaline and regular zinc-carbon cells
is compared in
Figure 9,
showing the “D” size cell at
70°F (21°C) and 32°F (0°C).
Figure 9a
shows “AA”
cell performance under the same conditions. The alka-
line cell will maintain a higher voltage for considerably
longer than the regular zinc-carbon cell, resulting in a
service life at lower temperatures which is up to ten
times that of the regular zinc-carbon cell.
5.5 Internal Resistance
Alkaline cells, because of their compact construc-
tion and highly conductive electrolyte, have low internal
resistance, usually less than 1 ohm. The low internal
resistance characteristic is a benefit in applications
involving high current pulses. Unlike regular zinc-carbon
cells, alkaline cells do not require rest periods between
pulses and maintain their low internal resistance,
increasing only at the very end of useful life.
5.6 Energy Density
Energy density is a measure of available energy
in terms of weight and volume. It is the ratio of a cell’s
capacity to either its volume or weight and can be used
to evaluate a cell’s performance.

product types comparing both volumetric energy density
and gravimetric energy density. Volumetric energy density

is an important factor where battery size is the primary
design consideration. Gravimetric energy density becomes
important where weight of the battery is critical, such as
in portable computers and cellular phones. The values
shown in this table are typical for each cell size. Actual
energy output will vary, dependent mostly on drain rates
applied.

multiply the ampere-hour capacity that the cell delivers
under those conditions by the average discharge volt-

Applications
DURACELL
®
alkaline batteries-with their superi-
or drain rate characteristics good shelf storage life low
internal resistance, and wide operating temperature
range-are a popular choice for many portable power
applications. The most common uses are found in the
consumer market, in applications such as photographic
equipment, remote control devices, toys, electronic
games, flashlights, tape recorders, home health care
devices, radios, shavers, clocks, calculators and comput-
ers.
Alkaline cells also have significant application
presence in the industrial and government sectors. Some
industrial applications include portable medical and
industrial instrumentation, portable and emergency
lighting products, communications equipment, and
portable electrical measurement devices. Military applica-
tions include a variety of communication devices and
general instrumentation.
Duracell is actively involved in the development
of battery products that can power applications current-
ly utilizing rechargeable batteries or AC power, such as
notebook computers, handheld cellular phones, cam-
corders, power tools, and more. The goal of this devel-
opment program is to provide customers with a primary
battery option where needed.
Battery Care
7.1 Storage Conditions
Batteries should be stored at temperatures
between 50°F (10°C) and 77°F (25°C), with relative
humidity not exceeding 65 percent. Refrigeration of
alkaline batteries is not necessary because of their very
good capacity retention. Excessive temperature cycling
and storage at temperatures greater than 77°F (25°C)
should be avoided to maximize shelf life.
7.2 Proper Usage and Handling
Discharged batteries should be removed from
equipment to prevent possible damage. Batteries should
be removed from a device when it is not expected to be
in use for several months. Batteries should also be
removed from equipment while it is being powered by
household (AC) current. Always replace all batteries at
the same time since batteries in series, in different
states of discharge, may eventually drive the weakest
battery into voltage reversal with progressive risk of
leak age or rupture. Mixing battery systems, such as
alkaline with zinc-carbon, may also result in voltage
reversal and should be avoided.
Always replace the battery or batteries in your
equipment with the size and type of battery specified by
the equipment manufacturer.
Keep batteries away from small children. If
swallowed, consult a physician at once. (For information
on treatment, telephone the National Capital Poison
Center, Washington, D.C., at 202-625-3333 collect.)
7.3 Charging
All batteries listed in this bulletin are of the
primary type and are not designed to be recharged.
Attempts to recharge an alkaline battery may cause an
imbalance within the cell, leading to gassing and possi-
bly explosion on either charge or discharge cycles.
