Primary Batteries—
Alkaline, & Heavy Duty
I. General Information
Alkaline
Definition of a Battery
Alkaline batteries provide the longest service life for
high drain devices. They will last more than twice as
long as heavy duty batteries in certain applications.
Alkaline batteries get their long life from their unique
construction and the purity of the materials used.
(Diagram 1)
A battery is a portable energy source that is made up
of three basic components—an anode, a cathode and
an electrolyte.
The anode is the negative portion of the battery, the
cathode is the positive portion and the electrolyte is
a liquid solution that aids in the flow of energy.
The alkaline cathode is a mixture of manganese
dioxide, graphite, and electrolyte. This mixture is
granulated, aged in storage, and then compacted into
a pressed cylindrical assembly. This mixture is
inserted into a steel can. The steel can and the
mixture become the cathode of the alkaline battery.
An indentation is made near the top of the can and
sealant is placed just above it. These two steps help
safeguard the battery against leakage.
These three components can be made up of many
different materials and combined in an almost endless
array of sizes and shapes. The choice of materials
used, and the quality, grade and density of these
materials will play a major role in determining the
energy levels and performance of batteries.

II. Chemical Systems and
Construction
TOP
PLATE
Primary batteries were first made in the mid-1800’s.
These early batteries were known as zinc carbons.
Zinc carbon technology is still around but it has been
updated with purer, quality grade materials and a
different electrolyte. This formulation is now called
zinc chloride (heavy duty).

Today, many designers choose alkaline manganese
batteries. These batteries provide a much higher

demand for portable power.

If the cathode and anode come in contact with each
other, a very active chemical reaction would occur. A
barrier must be between the two. A paper separator
soaked with an electrolyte that promotes ionic or
electrolytic conductivity is used as this barrier. The
anode portion is a gel made up of zinc powder and
several other materials. The anode is then inserted
into the steel can against the paper separator.
black (for electrical conductivity and moisture
absorption), and zinc chloride electrolyte (which
assists the chemical reaction).

POSITIVE COVER
To insure a long shelf life, the battery must be sealed.
The seal is made of a brass nail (which acts as the
current collector), a plastic gasket, a steel washer and
metal endcap. The four items are preassembled and
inserted into the middle of our steel can up against
the indentation (which was formed earlier). A top
plate is welded to the other end of the can to provide
the positive polarity safety feature.

MIX
BOTTOM
PLATE
Zinc Chloride
Heavy duty zinc chloride batteries are the result of
technological advances in zinc carbon battery
manufacturing.
Diagram 2
The type and purity of the mix ingredients is why a
zinc chloride battery lasts up to twice as long as the
older zinc carbon formulations. (Diagram 2)
The anode portion of a zinc chloride battery is a pure
zinc can. Besides acting as the anode, the zinc can
also serves as a container for the remaining battery
components.
A powdery mix serves as the cathode component of
the zinc chloride battery. The mix is made of
manganese dioxide (the active ingredient), carbon

The mix is then inserted in the can. A compression
washer is placed on top and a carbon rod is inserted
through the mix. This carbon rod serves as the
current collector for the battery and provides the
outside contact.
The open circuit voltage of fresh cylindrical batteries
is approximately 1.55 volts. The closed circuit voltage
declines gradually as a function of the depth of
discharge; therefore, greater hours of service are
obtained as the functional end point is lowered.
Next, the top of the zinc can is curled inward. The
battery is placed inside a paper tube that has a metal
bottom plate. A seal washer is placed on top of the
carbon rod. Finally this entire assembly is placed
inside a protective outer shell.
Figure 1 illustrates the typical service life to 0.9
volts of a AA Alkaline and Heavy Duty battery on a
cassette player used one hour per day. Figure 2
outlines the number of service hours versus current
drain to 0.9 volts.
The paper tube acts as an electrical insulator, keeping
the negative and positive ends of the battery from
contacting the outside protective shell. The shelled
battery is then sealed which keeps the internal
components of our battery fresh.

Finally, a metal cap (the positive contact of our
battery) is embedded on top of the battery and
the metal shell is curled over the cap.

VII. Handling and Shipping
Batteries are vulnerable to short circuiting if not
handled properly. Those battery types which have
their “+” and “–” terminations in close proximity
to each other are particularly susceptible to short
circuiting. Examples of these battery types are the
Rayovac A1604, and D1604 batteries. Rayovac
packaging engineers design all packaging to assure
that Rayovac batteries can be shipped and stored in
their original cartons without damage.

V. Rayovac Batteries and The
Environment
All Rayovac batteries, alkaline, and heavy duty, use a
no Mercury added formulation. Rayovac alkaline and
zinc chloride batteries do not contain Cadmium as an
active ingredient.
To avoid potential short circuit and shipping damage
situations:
1. Always store the batteries in the trays and/or
cartons in which they were shipped.
2. Whenever possible, re-ship the batteries in their
original trays and/or cartons.
3. Broken package shipments of Rayovac batteries
can be safely made by putting each battery in a
sealed plastic bag.
4. General precautions:
A. Never place or dump batteries on conducting
surfaces, such as metal tables or shelves.
B. Never ship batteries in anti-static bags or
conductive foam as these materials will short
out the battery.
C. Insulate metal micrometers and calipers with
non-conductive tape to avoid short circuiting
batteries during dimensional checks.
Rayovac Alkaline and Heavy Duty batteries are
recognized by the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) as standard, household waste. Worldwide regulations vary from country to country.
Contact Rayovac’s Environmental and Safety
Department or the OEM/Technical products group for
the latest environmental updates and legislation.
VI. Storage
Batteries depend on internal chemical reactions to
produce power. Chemical reactions are accelerated by
high temperatures and retarded by low temperatures.
Therefore, to minimize power loss during storage,
batteries should ideally be stored at a maximum
temperature of 77°F (25°C). Refrigerated storage is
neither necessary nor recommended.
If you have any questions please contact your
Rayovac sales representative.
The following storage procedures should be observed
to assure maximum battery power.
