Solution

A dry cell is one type of electric battery, which is generally used for the home and portable electronic devices. A battery is a device that consists of one or more electrochemical cells, which converts chemical energy into electrical energy.
A dry cell has electrolyte in the form of a paste, with only enough moisture in it to allow current to flow. In contrast to wet-cell batteries, dry batteries do not spill, which makes them ideal for portable equipment.
