Daffy D Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 Browsing through the various Lazada pages I've noticed some references to "Charcoal Batteries" What are they and what advantage are they over normal batteries? Google wasn't much help So what are they and what are the benefits on not of these batteries? Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pgrahmm Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 Looks like it would work for an elementary school science class of you didn't have a potato handy.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BangkokReady Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 I know nothing about them. Based on the name, perhaps many units of charcoal connected together in some way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me to. Got lots of "how to make your own" but no real information of the advantage / disadvantage of using charcoal batteries and why they started to appear for sale recently. Anyway not in the first couple of pages in my Google search. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KhunBENQ Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 (edited) 20 minutes ago, Daffy D said: Some Examples:- To me that looks like the most ordinary Alkaline-Mangan batteries that you find at every cash checkout in a Thai supermarket, mom&pop shop and a trillion other spots. Until the 1970 a "zinc carbon" battery existed. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zinc–carbon_battery But this is long gone and vanished. To me this "charcoal" sounds like one of the most silly examples of a failed (Google) translation. If am proofed wrong I'll take it with countenance. Maybe someone found a lump of mangan and found it looks like a piece of grandma's charcoal Edited February 13, 2022 by KhunBENQ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
