Try googling "Philips long life batteries"

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 /lɛklɑːnˈʃeɪ/). 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.

My hourly rates:
$25 per hour.
$35 per hour if you want to watch.
$45 per hour if you want to help.
$75 per hour if you tried to fix it, and failed.
$125 per hour if you called tech support, and didn't fix the issue while making things worse

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?
