Zinc-manganese dioxide

Zinc-manganese dioxide is a type of battery commonly used in everyday devices like flashlights and remote controls. It consists of zinc metal as the anode (negative side) and manganese dioxide as the cathode (positive side). When the battery is in use, chemical reactions between these materials generate electrical energy by transferring electrons. Zinc provides electrons easily, while manganese dioxide accepts them, creating an flow of electricity. This combination offers a reliable, cost-effective, and safe power source suitable for many low-drain applications.
