Solution

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