Re: Alkaline Dry Cells Outer Tube Is Positive
Just pulled the sleeve off of a couple of industrial AAA's, a Varta and an nx-power, just to prove it to myself!
I sort of already knew that the positive end and the case were one and the same, from having to dismantle a cell for some reason years ago, but my brain never actually made the connection (no pun intended)
These are alkaline types. As Dave says though, cheap zinc-carbon types, the negative is the case (just one sheet of stamped zinc) and the positive a cap on the carbon rod electrode.
