Abstract
Magnesium dry cells patterned after the conventional Leclanche type “D” size flashlight unit have shown considerable promise in the initial stages of development. The discharge characteristics were in general similar to those of zinc cells. The best cells have contained a magnesium‐aluminum‐zinc alloy anode, and acetylene black cathode, and an alkali or alkaline earth bromide electrolyte, inhibited with ammonium chromate and gelled with a flour‐starch mixture. On the basis of incomplete storage tests at room temperature, the authors believe that eventually successful shelf performance may be achieved.
