Dry Cell - A cell with immobilized electrolyte. The term "dry cell" is often used to describe the Leclanche cell.
Current Density - The current per unit active area of the surface of an electrode.
Nominal Voltage - The characteristic operating voltage or rated voltage of a battery.
Trickle Charge - A charge at a low rate, balancing losses through local action and/or periodic discharge, to maintain a cell or battery in a fully charged condition.
Primary Battery - A battery which is not intended to be recharged and is discarded when the battery has delivered all of its electrical energy.
Alloy - A mixture of several other metals or a metal and a non-metal.
Reliability - Probability that a device will accomplish a required function under given conditions over a given period of time. Rms value of AC current with harmonics The rms value Yrms of a non-sinusoidal alternating current may be determined on the basis of the individual harmonic currents - where Y is the rms value of the fundamental.
