The current depends on what is connected to the battery's terminals. If nothing

is connected to it, then there is no current, and the battery lasts quite a while.

In general, the current is

1.5/resistance of the external circuit connected to the battery

until that number gets too big, and then the voltage of the battery sags,

because it can't deliver that much current.

What is the difference between and alkaline battery and a pile alkaline battery?

There is no difference between an alkaline battery and a pile alkaline battery. "Pile" is just a term used in French to refer to a battery. Both terms describe the same type of battery that uses an alkaline electrolyte.


How many electrodes does a alkaline battery contain?

The two electrodes of the alkaline battery are zinc and manganese dioxide. Zinc is the anode, or the electrode that becomes negatively charged due to the electrolyte. Manganese dioxide is the cathode, or the electrode that becomes positively charged.


Where was the alkaline battery invented?

The alkaline battery was invented in the United States by Lewis Urry in the 1950s. Urry was working for the Eveready Battery Company at the time and developed the alkaline battery to be more powerful and longer-lasting than existing battery technologies.


How do I know if my battery is alkaline zinc or other?

Look at the label on the battery. Alkaline batteries typically have "alkaline" mentioned in the label. Zinc batteries may have "zinc" mentioned. If you're not sure, it's best to check the battery manufacturer's website for specific information on the type of battery.


Why does an Alkaline battery last longer than an acid dry battery?

Alkaline dry cells last longer because NH4Cl, an acid found in non-alkaline, is replaced with KOH or NaOH, a base found in alkaline. The Zinc in an alkaline dry cell batteries tends to corrode less in basic conditions.

What is maximum current of 9 volt dc battry?

The maximum current capacity of a 9-volt DC battery will depend on the specific type and size of the battery. However, for a typical alkaline 9-volt battery, the maximum current output can range from around 500mA to 1000mA. It is important to check the specifications provided by the manufacturer for the exact current rating of the specific battery model.


Can you fry an audio mixer that uses 15v by using a 12v power supply?

, No. I did it powering a 15V peavey audio mixer using a lead acid 12V battery. But depending of your audio mixer, you may have levels problems. Emmanuel


Which type of d battery lasts the longest?

The current leader in energy density and life is lithium chemistry batteries. If you can't get that, go for Alkaline.


What type of aa battery last the longest?

The current leader in energy density and life is Lithium-chemistry batteries. If you can't get that, go for alkaline.


Does alkaline batteries have more power or does lithium batteries have more power?

lithium batteries have a faster current discharge rate then alkaline batteries but they cost more. The LIPO battery is used the most in RC planes.
