Alkaline battery

An alkaline battery (IEC code: L) is a type of primary battery which derives its energy from the reaction between zinc metal and manganese dioxide. Compared with zinc–carbon batteries of the Leclanché cell or zinc chloride types, alkaline batteries have a higher energy density and longer shelf life, yet provide the same voltage. Alkaline batteries are used in many household items such as MP3 players, CD players, digital cameras, toys, flashlights, and radios.
