Why do not mix alkaline and carbon batteries?
Because alkaline and carbon batteries have different positive electrodes, negative electrodes and electrolytes, their operating voltages and storage capacities are different. In general, alkaline batteries increase five to six times the capacity of carbon batteries, and currents are greater than carbon batteries. In fact, even if you have the same alkaline battery or the same carbon battery, old and new cannot be mixed.
In parallel mode, the new battery has a higher voltage and the old battery has a lower voltage. When mixed, the new battery charges the old battery and consumes the new battery. In series mode, the internal resistance of the old battery is too high. High, the internal resistance of the new battery is small. When discharged, the new battery consumes power in the internal resistance of the old battery and may even charge the old battery. The reason why alkaline and carbon batteries cannot be mixed is the same as that of old and new batteries that cannot be mixed. Battery capacity, current and voltage are not used. If forcibly mixed, the battery will be depleted too quickly, shortening its life and even leaking.
In addition, both alkaline and carbon batteries are disposable batteries that cannot be heated or charged, otherwise explosions may occur. If the device is not used for a long time, the battery must be removed in time. After use, the power must be turned off to prevent the battery from continuing to flow and will not cause chemical reactions in the reactor.
