I have a 6 Volt Lantern battery (UK type) which is labelled as, "Zinc Chloride".
Does this mean that it is the traditional Zinc/Carbon cell with Sal-Ammoniac chemiclas?
Also, if I were to alkali batteries, what would I find inside? I only ask because in my youth, the carbon rods were very useful, and wondered, before I poison myself, if there were to be anything useful in the modern cells.
