ABSTRACT:
A low iron zinc anode for a LeClanche cell, and methods of making and using same, are provided for in the invention. The zinc anode contains at least 95% zinc and no more than about 12 ppm iron, and may be configured for use in round or flat LeClanche cells. The zinc anodes of the invention may be used in general purpose and heavy duty batteries containing an electrolyte comprising zinc chloride as a primary component. Cells made in accordance with the invention exhibit improved capacity and other performance characteristics in respect of conventional cells.
