Alkaline batteries

Alkaline batteries are a type of disposable battery commonly used in household devices like remote controls, toys, and flashlights. They generate electricity through a chemical reaction between zinc and manganese dioxide in an alkaline electrolyte, typically potassium hydroxide. Known for their long shelf life and reliability, alkaline batteries provide consistent power and are widely available. They come in various sizes, such as AA and AAA. While they are more efficient than older zinc-carbon batteries, they should not be recharged unless specifically designed for that purpose, as attempting to do so can be dangerous.
