Can alkaline batteries and carbon zinc batteries be mixed?
The reason why alkaline batteries and carbon zinc batteries cannot be mixed is because the batteries have different capacities, currents and voltages.

Carbon Zinc Battery Use-Alkaline Battery-Exporter

Due to the wide application of electronic devices such as remote controls and electric toys, dry batteries such as alkaline batteries and carbon zinc batteries are also very common in people's daily life. However, alkaline batteries such as AA batteries and AA batteries and carbon zinc batteries are not much different in appearance, and some users may mix them. Can these two batteries be mixed? The answer is of course no.

Since alkaline and carbon zinc batteries have different positive electrodes, negative electrodes, and electrolytes, their operating voltages and storage capacity are different. Generally speaking, the capacity of alkaline batteries is five to six times that of carbon zinc batteries, and the current is also higher than that of carbon zinc batteries. In fact, even if it is the same alkaline battery or the same carbon zinc battery, the old and new ones cannot be mixed.

When the old and new batteries are connected in parallel, the voltage of the new battery is higher, and the voltage of the old battery is lower. When mixed use, the new battery will charge the old battery and consume the power of the new battery; in the series connection, the internal resistance of the old battery becomes very high. High, the internal resistance of the new battery is smaller, when discharging, the new battery consumes power on the internal resistance of the old battery, and may even reverse charge the old battery. The reason why alkaline batteries and carbon zinc batteries cannot be mixed is the same as the reason why old and new batteries cannot be mixed. All because the capacity, current and voltage of the batteries are different. If they are mixed forcibly, it will only cause the battery to be drained too quickly, shorten its life, or even leak.

In addition, alkaline batteries and carbon zinc batteries are both disposable batteries and cannot be heated or charged, otherwise they may explode. If the electrical appliance is not used for a long time, the battery should be removed in time, and the power should be turned off after use, so as not to cause the battery to continue to discharge and cause unfavorable chemical reactions inside it to cause leakage.
