In case of skin contact there is a chance of chemical burns. Use clear tepid water for at least 15 minutes on exposed skin. Consult a physician in case of irritation, injury or pain. In case of contact with the eye, do not rub the eyes, but flush with clear tepid water for at least 30 minutes and consult a medical professional immediately.

A hot battery could have several causes: from wrong storage to short circuiting. Some warmth is okay but keep an eye out for unusual heat.

Mixed use or leaving the battery in the appliance can cause battery leakage.

Yes. All batteries have an expiration date, beyond which their performance decreases.

Battery leakage can be caused by various problems. Read on to learn more.

The main difference between a zinc battery and an alkaline battery is the type of electrolyte used in both batteries. Because of the composition, an alkaline battery delivers more energy than a zinc battery. Both batteries should thus be used in different appliances.

Batteries are classified according to IEC classification standards: LR03 is equal to AAA, but in another standard.

0006P is a 9V (square) battery and is also designated as a 6F22 (Zinc carbon) or 6LR61 (Alkaline) battery.

Please seek medical attention immediately. While serious accidents are relatively uncommon, swallowing a coin battery may still cause burns or breathing difficulties.

Due to chemical reactions inside most batteries, the stored charge of the batteries is reduced little by little. This phenomenon is called self-discharge.
