Talk:Dry cell

So it's cool..?
Whoever added 'it is cool' didn't have to delete the whole section on structure.. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.171.233.77 (talk) 03:05, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

Wow, this talk page is popular...
I've added some links on the timeline. Also, if possible, could someone add an image of a dry cell? Megan102 07:20, 19 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Well, it's a dry subject. Unless you're interested in it. The history of dry cells actually is quite fascinating. Back in the bad old days of tube radios, they did actually make portable radios. All those walkie-talkies and handi-talkies of WW II didn't have a transistor in them. For these applications dry batteries had to be made with a great many cells, and potentials as high as several hundred volts. Those are all gone now. S  B Harris 09:20, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

Great improvement from the earlier version. I've rephrased the description of carbon-zinc cell and chemistry and hopefully made it clearer. Ian 10:12, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

Structure
If a dry cell is galvanic, where is the salt bridge? does the physical makeup make the salt bridge redundant? Ratstail91 (talk) 22:09, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

a question
Is carbon rod and GRAPHITE same? Ishanbull (talk) 07:29, 15 August 2016 (UTC)

History
There is a french patent from 1883 that seems to be a dry cell but I don't know enough about the subject. It's titled dry pile, In spanish the dry cell is also called "pila" but idk if it's the same thing. https://worldwide.espacenet.com/patent/search/family/002373935/publication/US304764A?q=pn%3DUS304764A Mirad1000 (talk) 18:51, 9 March 2023 (UTC)
