Advantages

Primary (Non-Rechargeable) Batteries.Common Information:Primary batteries are used once, then discarded. They have the advantage of convenience and cost lessper battery, with the down side of costing more over the long term. Primary batteries have a highercapacity and initial voltage than rechargeable batteries. Primary batteries have a sloping discharge curvethan secondary (rechargeable) batteries.Advantages:• High energy density• Best alternative for low cost, low drain applications• Wide availability of standard productsDisadvantages:• Not suitable for high drain applications due to short life time and the cost of continuous replacement.• Extremely uneconomical energy source since they produce only about 2% of the power used in theirmanufacture.• They produce much more waste than rechargeable batteries.
