Best Answer

Alkaline batteries use a different electroyte, and last five to eight times as long as long as zinc carbon cells

Wet cell batteries are rechargeable, but require a charger and can suffer from the memory effect. They also can contain harmful chemicals. Dry cell batteries are non-rechargeable but often last longer than one charged wet cell.

What is the voltage of a dry and wet cell battery?

I am the one who question~ The more data: I mean,there is AAA type dry cell with 1.5V and AA type dry cell with 1.5V as well and square cell with 9V.So what's the realtionship between all these?Is there a realtionship I mean?I suppose there's...Thank you for answering my question:) Answer: For non rechargeable batteries, there is 1.5 volt per cell. So AA, AAA, D, C, etc. batteries have one 1.5 volt cell. The size of the cell is different in each, which allows larger current flow from that particular battery. None volt batteries are typically 6 of these cells stacked in series within a single battery. For cheap 9 volt batteries, there may be only 5, as the actual voltage is usually higher than 1.5 volts per cell (each cell voltage is intentionally made larger). wikipedia has a pretty good explanation - search for "nine-volt battery". Another way to glean more understanding is to simply take a few apart - make sure you wear some protective gloves and eyewear (some of these chemicals can be very corrosive). Hope this helps.


Is performance of dry cell battery is better over wet cell battery?

Do both wet cells and dry cells work the same way?

No- different materials, different functions. Wet cell batteries are USUALLY storage batteries- they are recharged. Dry cell batteries are USUALLY supply batteries- a chemical reaction produces electrical power. When chemical are used up, the battery stops producing power, and cannot be recharged. The battery in most cars is a wet cell, batteries in most flashlights is a dry cell.


Does a powered wheelchair have a wet cell or dry cell battery?

Most powered wheelchairs currently use dry cell (also known as gel cell) batteries, and most likely will be shipped with gel cell batteries when ordered. However, you should be able to use either wet cell or dry cell batteries for any scooter as long as you use the correct size (usually one of the following: U1, 22NF, 24, or 27).
