Re: [Rant] Philips long life batteries
"For your low-drain products choose LongLife batteries. Zinc-Chloride technology is perfect for your clocks, radios, calculators and remote controls."
I guess a trimmer is not a low-drain device? |

| Wow not even Philips knows what is in the batteries? Zinc-Chloride? The ones I'm looking at say Zinc-Carbon 1.5V with nothing on the packaging that states your quote, where ever that came from.

| said by BlitzenZeus  :Try googling "Philips long life batteries" Your counter argument, not mine, why should I have to do your work? Even then, why is it not stated on the packaging? How is it the company that put their name on these batteries not even know what is in them?

You seriously spent more effort not doing it than just doing it... lol 
»en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zinc-carbon_battery
"A zinc-carbon dry cell or battery is packaged in a zinc can that serves as both a container and anode. It was developed from the wet Leclanché cell (pronounced /lÉ›klÉ‘Ënˈʃeɪ/). The cathode is a mixture of manganese dioxide and carbon powder. The electrolyte is a paste of zinc chloride and ammonium chloride dissolved in water. Zinc chloride cells are an improved version from the original ammonium chloride variety. Zinc-carbon batteries are the least expensive primary batteries and thus a popular choice by manufacturers when devices are sold with batteries included. They can be used in remote controls, flashlights, toys, or transistor radios, where the power drain is not too heavy."
"The (heavy duty) zinc chloride cell is an improvement on the original zinc-carbon cell, using purer chemicals and giving a longer life and steadier voltage output as it is used. Instead of an electrolyte mixture containing much NH4Cl, it is largely only ZnCl2 paste."

You were better off buying alkaline, or li-ion batteries.

1 edit | Why do you think I want to know what is in that battery when my question was why doesn't Philips know? Yet again you put up a quote about Zinc-Chloride, these are Zinc-Carbon, again telling me Philips has no clue what they are selling.
Also again, why was it's intended use not stated on the packaging like any other brand does?
So, what good would Googling "Philips long life batteries" do for me again?

Read the damn links, all the information is on zinc carbon batteries, but you can't bother yourself to read this information, which I feel would also be on the back of their packaging. It was all over their website also.... You seem oblivous to reality...
