The results showed that the nickel-zinc batteries could produce an average of 50 more pictures than the alkaline competition.
A battery with only a positive pole will not produce current.
Connected in series, the batteries produced 4 volts of electricity.
This returns the chemicals to their original state, and the battery can again produce electricity.
Advances in battery-manufacturing technologies throughout the second half of the twentieth century have made batteries increasingly cheaper to produce.
The battery produces electricity by combining oxygen from the air with a zinc paste and catalyst.
Primary batteries, or primary cells, can produce current immediately on assembly.
The four batteries in parallel arrangement will produce 1.5 volts at 2,000 milliamp-hours.
The four batteries arranged in a series will produce 6 volts at 500 milliamp-hours.
The system includes a rechargeable battery, measuring three inches by two inches, to produce heat.
