Duracell Plus Batteries

Duracell is the world's leading manufacturer of high-performance alkaline batteries. All DURACELL^® Primary Batteries provide long life to optimize the performance of your device.

Most pre-charged batteries use Alkaline technology (Alkaline Manganese Dioxide), which is more modern and improves on several of the Zinc Carbon battery deficiencies, as it:

• Performs better, and over a longer period, in high-drain applications, such as electrical motors in toys. This equates to effective operating times that are multiples (between 4 to 15 times) of those for a comparable Zinc Carbon battery.

• Has a longer shelf life, exceeding 6 years

• Performs well even at lower temperatures, down to about -30°C

Duracell pioneered the Alkaline Manganese Dioxide electrochemical system nearly 40 years ago. In the 1960-1970 decade, this battery system rapidly became the popular choice of designers in the ever-widening field of consumer electronics. Alkaline or Alkaline Manganese Dioxide cells, have many advantages over zinc-carbon cells including higher energy output. Other significant advantages are longer shelf life, better leakage resistance, and superior low temperature performance.
In comparison to the zinc-carbon cell, the alkaline cell delivers up to ten times the ampere- hour capacity at high and continuous drain conditions, with its performance at low temperatures also being superior to other conventional aqueous electrolyte primary cells. Its more effective, secure seal provides excellent resistance to leakage and corrosion.
