Sunbeam offers both alkaline and carbon-zinc (super heavy duty) versions of their batteries. Alkaline are ideal for higher drain devices such as wireless video game controllers and computer peripherals, radios and certain toys. Carbon-zinc batteries are designed for low drain applications such as remote controls, smoke detectors and clocks.

Can alkaline batteries explode?

Yes, alkaline batteries have the potential to explode if they are subjected to extreme heat or are damaged. Overcharging, puncturing, or short-circuiting can lead to a buildup of pressure inside the battery, causing it to rupture or explode. It is important to handle and dispose of alkaline batteries properly to mitigate the risk of explosion.


Can alkaline batteries be charged in the freezer?

NO, putting batteries in the freezer will not charge them. For alkaline batteries (the most common kind of household battery), putting them in the freezer will extend their shelf life by less than 5%. And cold batteries can't be used immediately -- you have to wait until they've warmed up to room temperature first. If you need those batteries for a flashlight in an emergency, this could prove problematic. When stored at room temperature, alkaline batteries retain 90% of their power, and the average shelf life of alkaline batteries is five to seven years. For NiMH and Nicad batteries (often used for electronics), storing them in the freezer might be more practical. These kinds of batteries lose their charge after a few days when kept at room temperature. But they'll retain a 90% charge for months if you store them in the freezer. Just like alkaline batteries, you'll need to wait until they've warmed up before using them. However, this isn't a problem when you need new batteries for your digital camera or other electronic gadget. Battery manufacturers tend to agree. Kodak says "refrigeration is not necessary, nor is it recommended" and "freezing is not recommended" for its alkaline batteries. Duracell advises: "Do not refrigerate Duracell batteries. This will not make them last longer." Both recommend storing batteries in a cool, dry place.

How long does sunbeam batteries last?

No way to tell, depends on what it's powering.


How does the type of battery affect how long it will last?

This is not necessarily true. Usually the brand of battery is not as important as the technology used. An alkaline battery should last longer than a regular carbon battery, no matter what the brand.


What is the source of alkaline in batteries?

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).
