1. With alkaline batteries the battery cap and the battery body are
made of zinc metal. These components are plated with nickel metal (Ni). |
| |
2. The metal rod is welded to the battery cap. |
| |
3. A carbon ring is inserted into the top of the battery body. |
| |
4. There is an insulating material (normally PTFE, commonly called
nylon) that separates the battery cap (anode) from the battery body
(cathode). |
| |
5. The paper Shroud surrounds the metal rod. This paper shroud absorbs
the alkaline
electrolyte during production. |
| |
6. The chemical added to the battery is Manganese oxide.
There must be no contact between the "anode" and "cathode" in
the battery unit. |
| |
The electrolyte comprises an alkaline material. |
