        Dry Battery

        ​A dry-cell battery is a device made of one or more electrochemical cells that convert stored chemical energy into electrical energy. It contains an electrolyte that is contained within a paste or other moist medium.

        A Standard dry cell battery includes a zinc anode and a carbon cathode within a central rod. Cadmium, carbon, lead, nickel, and zinc are used to manufacture different dry cell designs and capabilities, with some models more suitable for certain devices than others.

        In contrast to wet-cell batteries, dry batteries do not spill, which makes them ideal for portable equipment.

        Products include:

        • Primary dry cell batteries (e.g., dry cell primary leclanche, alkaline primary, and lithium type batteries);
        • Portable rechargeable batteries (e.g., sealed nickel cadmium, nickel metal hydride, lithium, and zinc air); and
        • Portable electric lighting devices designed to be hand-carried or worn on the person and utilizing a self-contained or attached power source (e.g., general purpose, industrial, penlight, novelty, and military types).

        NEMA Members develop and influence Standards, codes, regulations, and legislation on primary dry battery products.
