What is an alkaline battery?

The "non-alkaline" battery is probably best "defined" by comparing it to the alkaline battery. Both are chemical cells, but the alkaline battery has as an electrolyte a basic solution of potassium hydroxide. (A base is often said to be "alkaline" in chemistry.) The "non-alkaline" battery uses zinc and ammonium chloride, which are acidic, as an electrolyte. The alkaline battery packs a higher chemical energy density than the "regular" or, as it is marketed, "heavy duty" or "industrial" battery. That's why it is generally more expensive and lasts longer.

What is the difference between galvanized and alkalized cell?

Galvanic cells are classified as either primary or secondary. A primary cell is used once and then thrown away when exhausted. A common example is an alkaline dry cell. Alkaline cells are a subset of galvanic cells. Galvanic cells are more generic and use any metals. Alkaline batteries are a type of disposable battery or rechargeable battery dependent upon the reaction between zinc and manganese (IV) oxide (Zn/MnO2). The alkaline battery gets its name because it has an alkaline electrolyte of potassium hydroxide, as opposed to the acidic electrolyte of the zinc-carbon batteries which are offered in the same nominal voltages and physical size.

Do name brand batteries last longer than off brand batteries?

Brand names do not perform any better than cheaper brands. The only important factor in selecting batteries is that they are labeled as alkaline batteries and are not heavy duty. Heavy duty batteries are made poorly and don't last very long.
