Solution
Alkaline batteries
, also known as
dry cells
, are the most common type of main battery.
A primary battery is a non-rechargeable battery as the electrochemical process powering the cell is basically irreversible.
Zinc-carbon cells, metal-air–depolarized batteries, and alkaline zinc–manganese dioxide cells are some of the other examples.
They are inexpensive, require little to no maintenance and have a good shelf life.
