Zinc Carbon Batteries

Zinc carbon batteries are an affordable option for powering low-drain devices. The batteries are great for powering battery-operated toys and remote controls, but don’t last as long as alkaline alternatives. These batteries are also extremely cheap, making them a great buy for price conscious customers.

Zinc carbon batteries are among the oldest types of batteries still in use. They were first invented by a French scientist named George Leclanché who got the idea from observing how a potato reacted with zinc. The most common type of zinc carbon battery is called mercury cell alkaline and was first produced by Duracell.

Zinc Carbon batteries are great for small electronics and are available in a range of shapes and sizes, so you can find the battery you need. They are a cheaper option than alkaline batteries and have longer shelf lives, making them excellent value for money.
