Which batteries last the longest?
Article Abstract:
The most efficient zinc and alkaline batteries can cost around 40% less to use than the least efficient, so it is important to make the correct choices. Zinc chloride batteries are most suitable for products which require only a small amount of current, as they are expensive to use and do not last very long. Alkaline batteries have high capacity, so are most suitable for products with high power requirements. This is also the case with nickel cadmium batteries.
