What is the difference between an LR6 and ZR6 battery? What are the advantages?
Developed by Camelion, the ZR6 battery type is a special version of the regular LR6 alkaline battery. There are multiple battery types in use today (See Table). LR6 cells use Zinc and Manganese Dioxide as the negative and positive electrodes respectively. The electrolyte is generally an alkali metal hydroxide such as potassium hydroxide solution. The ZR6 version uses a specially formulated patented compound to deliver longer and higher energy than standard LR6 batteries.
