A "dry" cell is actually a misnomer. The electrolyte is actually a moist paste, with enough liquid in it to make the electrochemistry operate exactly the same as a wet cell. The practical difference between a dry cell and a wet cell is that the moist paste electrolyte of the dry cell will not spill out when the cell is turned over like the liquid electrolyte of the wet cell does. This makes manufacturing and transportation of ready to use dry cells possible, while wet cells must be manufactured and shipped without the liquid electrolyte and are filled at the point of sale after installation.

How does a Dry Cell battery work?
An electromotive force is generated from chemical reactions inside the cell. Carbon - zinc, iron - nickel, lead - sulphuric acid, are common ones. An individual cell is just that, a cell. Strictly, a battery is a collection of such cells
