the most common non rechargeable battery is alkaline batteries. the more expensive batteries contain more lithium. the lithium batteries last a lot longer.

you can also buy heavy duty batteries. although it sounds like they should last longer..they don't. heavy duty batteries are actually a step down from alkaline.

Can a human work for longer than a robot?

no because robots have batteries and human have heart a batterie lasts longer


What sources of power are used to make a robot work?

photo Voltaic CellsPhoto Voltaic Cells or solar cells are well known for their use as power sources for satellites, environmentalist green energy campaigns and pocket calculators. In robotics solar cells are used mainly in BEAM robots. Commonly these consist of a solar cell which charges a capacitor and a small circuit which allows the capacitor to be charged up to a set voltage level and then be discharged through the motor(s) making it move. For a larger robot solar cells can be used to charge its batteries. Such robots have to be designed around energy efficiency as they have little energy to spare.BatteriesBatteries are an essential component of the majority of robot designs. Many types of batteries can be used. Batteries can be grouped by whether or not they are rechargeable. Batteries that are not rechargeable usually deliver more power for their size, and are thus desirable for certain applications. Various types of alkaline and lithium batteries can be used. Alkaline batteries are much cheaper and sufficient for most uses, but lithium batteries offer better performance and a longer shelf life.Common rechargeable batteries include lead acid, nickel-cadmium (Ni Cd)and the newer nickel metal-hydride (Ni-MH). Ni Cd & Ni-MH batteries come in common sizes such as AA, but deliver a smaller voltage than alkaline batteries (1.2V instead of 1.5V). They also can be found in battery packs with specialized power connectors. These are commonly called race packs and are used in the more expensive RC race cars. They will last for some time if used properly. Ni-MH batteries are currently more expensive than Ni Cd, but are less affected by memory effect.Lead acid batteries are relatively cheap and carry quite a lot of power, although they are quite heavy and can be damaged when they are discharged below a certain voltage. These batteries are commonly used as backup power supply in alarm systems and UPS.BatteriesBatteries are an essential component of the majority of robot designs. Many types of batteries can be used.

Why were cast iron pipes replaced by PVC pipes?

Pvc pipes are cheaper. They are easier to join. They last longer.


What does it tell you about a vacuum tube if you see the getter of that vacuum tube is no longer silvery but has turned white?

It means that the glass envelope has leaked and is no longer a vacuum. Air inside has oxidized the getter. They generally no longer work in this condition.

Do cheap automotive batteries last as long as more expensive batteries?

No they don't. The slogan goes " you get what you pay for " and this is one of those instances. The better batteries have better cells and they can last a lot longer than a cheap battery.


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.


How can you make a digital camera's batteries last longer?

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.

Is it really important to use an alkaline battery instead of a cheaper one for everyday purposes?

Alkaline batteries work better and last much longer then the cheap ones that are marked heavy duty. You can purchase alkaline batteries for a reasonable price simply by avoiding brand names.
