Anyone who knows the battery knows

Batteries are generally divided into two types: alkaline and carbon

And these two batteries look the same in appearance

In fact, whether it is from the composition structure or chemical properties

All have very different differences

So, how should these two batteries differ?

First, let’s briefly understand

What is a carbon battery

Carbon battery is the primary battery in chemical power supply

It is a disposable battery, also called a dry battery

Generally suitable for flashlights, tape recorders, watches, toys and other equipment

But only for low-consumption appliances

We generally choose alkaline batteries

Here, let’s talk about what an alkaline battery is

Alkaline battery, also called alkaline dry battery

In the zinc manganese battery series

It's a kind of better performance

The advantage of this is that there is no mercury inside

The environmental pollution will not be too serious

And because the internal resistance is low

The relative current is relatively large and can be used for large energy-consuming equipment

Another advantage of alkaline batteries is that they have a larger capacity

In general, alkaline batteries of the same size

Capacity and discharge time

Will be 3-7 times higher than a normal battery

Can fully satisfy CD players, high-power remote controls, electric toys

Continuous discharge such as large current and high requirements for working voltage

Of various electric occasions

What is the battery of the air conditioner remote control

Under normal circumstances, home appliance remote controls use AAA batteries, while cameras, shavers, and wall clocks use AAA batteries. Therefore, the air conditioner remote control is also a AAA battery. If we are not sure, we can determine it by measuring the diameter and length of the battery. No. 7 battery is 43.6 mm high and 10.1 mm in diameter, while No. 5 battery is 14 mm in diameter and 49 mm in height.
