The term "dry cell" usually refers to a type of batter, the kind you find in a typical flashlight (torch, if you are British). Dry distinguishes them from batteries of the lead-acid type that, in the past, had a liquid inside and were used in automobiles.

Dry Cell batteries are recycled using a specialized method. A specialized room temperature mechanical separation process where the battery components are taken apart to make three end products. the end products are Zinc and Magnesium Concentrate, Stainless Steel, Aluminium, plastic and copper. The collected materials are then put back to use for other marketable products.
