What role does zinc play in a battery?

Zinc is one of the most important components in batteries, serving as the anode due to its electrochemical features and low costs. In alkaline cells, zinc is used in powdered form and must be of high purity (99.85–99.00%). It is typically produced by electrowinning or distilling.

What is a Silver Zinc battery?

Silver Zinc batteries are higher capacity versions of Silver Oxide batteries. They have an open circuit voltage of 1.6 Volts. Two types of Silver Oxide batteries are available: one type with a sodium hydroxide (NaOH) electrolyte and the other with a potassium hydroxide (KOH) electrolyte.

What is a zinc-carbon battery?

Panasonic's Zinc-Carbon batteries are the standard solution for applications which do not require high voltages but would still benefit from extraordinary performance. With years of production experience to call on, Panasonic delivers best-in-class performance for zinc-carbon battery technology parameters.

Where are Panasonic zinc-carbon batteries made?

For decades, we have produced and packed nearly all of our Zinc-Carbon batteries for the European market in Gniezno, Poland, contributing to the development of society in the region. Panasonic's Zinc-Carbon batteries are the standard solution for applications which do not require high voltages but would still benefit from extraordinary performance.
