alkaline battery
Common power cell
An alkaline battery is a common type of disposable battery that uses an alkaline electrolyte, typically potassium hydroxide.
Alkaline batteries power household devices like remote controls, flashlights, and toys, offering longer life than older zinc-carbon batteries: The smoke detector needs a fresh alkaline battery.
