Abstract
A theoretical approach has been developed to relate the voltage delay transients of the Mg−MnO2 dry cell observed during discharge by two commonly employed modes, viz., (1) at constant current, and (2) across a constant resistance. The approach has been verified by comparison of experimentally obtained transients with those generated from theory. The method may be used to predict the delay parameters of the Mg−MnO2 dry cell under the two modes of discharge and can, in principle, be extended to lithium batteries.
