Anode assembly

An anode assembly is a key part of certain electrical devices, like batteries or electrochemical cells. It acts as the source of electrons, where oxidation occurs—meaning it releases electrons into the circuit. In a battery, the anode is usually made of a material like zinc or graphite, and it interacts with the electrolyte to generate electrical energy. The anode assembly includes its electrode, connecting terminals, and sometimes a protective housing, all designed to ensure efficient flow of electrons and maintain safety during operation. Its proper function is essential for the device to produce consistent, reliable power.
