A traditional dry cell comprises a zinc anode, usually in the form of a cylindrical pot, with a carbon cathode in the form of a central rod.
The electrolyte is ammonium chloride in the form of a paste.
If the cell is left unused, this elctrolyte may get dried up, killing it.
Modern cells, lithium, cadmium etc., are free from this, but they may explode.
