But, why exactly would you use those instead of a eneloop? They are expensive. There are exceptions, like the ultimate lithium. They are so much netter now than say 20 years ago.įor me, typical AA and AAA cell batteries are dead. Modern slow discharge nimh batteries can power any device, from a remote to a speedy rc car.
They last for years, never seen one leak. Sony cells seem to be ok too, including their button cells.īut just to make sure nothing happens and i get my money's worth, i buy recheargeable batteries. Some brands of batteries don't seem to leak as often, like cheap regular toshiba batteries. Even quality batteries like duracell leak, but usually this happens when they are already expired. Avoid old batteries, check the date of manufacture. For these you need high current batteries. Just to make everything clear, your average low current AA cell is designed to power up a weak flashlight or a remote, not a 200w flash unit or rc motor. Pretty sure he doesn't use energizer ultimate lithium batteries, which are the best non rechargeables and also guaranteed not to leak.Īn expired battery or a very, very cheap battery might leak when placed powering up a high power flash unit. As proof, he doesn't even mention what brand of batteries he's using. I think it takes a couple of weeks after the battery fails for the corrosive goo to get around.Įither OP is using the worst expired batteries ever made, or he is exaggerating. I've never seen that happen to any battery-operated devices. This completes the circuit (which is necessary to have a constant flow of electricity) and powers your flashlight.But you're indicating damage overnight. There, they combine with unstable zinc ions, which were formed at the anode when the electrons were originally given up to the external circuit. The internal circuit is completed when the hydroxide ions produced in this reaction at the cathode flow to the anode in the form of ionic current. In that reaction, the water splits, releasing hydroxide ions into the electrolyte and hydrogen ions that combine with MnOO- to form MnOOH. Then, MnOO- reacts with water from the electrolyte. Every electron entering the cathode reacts with the manganese dioxide to form MnOO. This process is accomplished by the movement of negatively charged hydroxide ions present in the water solution called the electrolyte.
The combined processes of oxidation and reduction couldn’t occur in a power cell without an internal way to carry electrons back to the anode, balancing the external flow of current. After the electrons do their work powering the light bulb, they re-enter the cell at the cathode, where they combine with the active material, manganese dioxide, in a process called reduction. At that time, the anode material, zinc, gives up two electrons per atom in a process called oxidation, leaving unstable zinc ions behind. Electric current in the form of electrons begin to flow in the external circuit when the device-a light bulb for example-is turned on.
