The electrolyte used in alkaline dry cell batteries is usually potassium hydroxide.

The main advantage of the alkaline potassium hydroxide electrolyte over the acidic ammonium chloride electrolyte in conventional dry cell batteries is that if it happens to leak outside the battery case it will not corrode the metal parts of the device it is powering (but the leakage still makes a mess that should be cleaned out when replacing the bad batteries with good ones).
