Advantages of the Alkaline D Battery
D battery also called as the D cell is the largest type of commonly available electrochemical cell. The average output voltage of a non-rechargeable D-cell is 1.5 volts while the rechargeable D cells have a lower output voltage of 1.2 V. However, some cells made with special formulation can operate at even higher voltages of 1.6 V.
Every D cell comprises of a cylindrical metal body with electrical contacts at each terminal. The D cell was introduced in 1898 by the National Carbon Company. Owing to their large size and greater power capacity, these cells find their utility in high-drain applications. The D cells are ideally used in large flashlights, portable CD/Cassette players, radio receivers and transmitters.
The working of these batteries is based on either of the two technologies: the Alkaline or the Zinc Carbon technology. However, the Alkaline version has emerged as the more preferred choice for usage in applications with a greater power demand. Following are the advantages offered by the Alkaline batteries over Zinc Carbon battery:
- Comparatively longer shelf life (in some cases exceeding 6 years)
- High performance delivered even at a temperature as low as -30C
- They are an economical option to the Zinc Carbon battery
The D batteries can be classified into two main types: the rechargeable and the non-rechargeable type. The non rechargeable batteries are known as primary cells and the rechargeable types are called as the secondary cells. If you are a heavy user of D batteries then the rechargeable NiMH type batteries may be the real option for you. The rechargeable battery, in some cases, has a significantly less capacity than the pre-charged D battery but last up to 1000 recharge cycles.
