What is another word for dry battery?
Pronunciation: [dɹˈa͡ɪ bˈatəɹi] (IPA) 
Dry battery is a common term for a primary battery that uses manganese dioxide as the main cathode material and uses an electrolyte paste instead of a liquid electrolyte. However, there are a few other words that are often used as synonyms for "dry battery." One of the most common words is "alkaline battery," which is a type of dry battery that uses an alkaline electrolyte instead of a non-alkaline one. Other words that are occasionally used as synonyms include "zinc-carbon battery" and "leclanche cell." This latter term is often used to refer to a type of dry battery that uses a separate electrolyte solution inserted into the cell when it is needed.
