Question

What element is used in batteries?

Answer 1

Zinc, Manganese, and potassium are the three elements used in batteries.

Explanation:

• A battery has three essential parts.

1. Anode
2. Cathode
3. Electrolyte

• The average alkaline AAA, AA, C, D, 9-volt, or button-cell battery is made of steel and a combination of zinc, manganese, potassium, and graphite, and the remaining is made up of recyclable paper and plastic.

• All these non-toxic materials, which are the battery “ingredients” are more conveniently recyclable.
