Why can’t wall clocks use alkaline high-current batteries?

This is a false proposition!

I can tell you responsibly that as long as you buy a regular brand of electronic clock, whether it is a stepper motor (one jump per second) or a so-called silent motor (continuously moving the second hand) . Alkaline batteries can be used, and the battery life is longer and less likely to leak!

I don’t know who has reported that using alkaline batteries will damage the electronic clock core. It’s really ridiculous! !

The type of electricity used by the electronic clock can be whatever it is designed to be. It does not matter if it uses 9V, 220V, 12V, or 110V single-phase power, DC power, or AC power. In theory, there is no problem! So here comes the question, whoever designed a 1.5V electronic clock core that can only use carbon batteries, not alkaline batteries, is he stupid? ! ...

Besides, the voltage of carbon batteries and alkaline batteries are the same, but the capacities are different! A spoonful of 36-degree water won't scald you. Do you think a washbasin of 36-degree water can scald you? A 5V 3600ma power bank can charge your mobile phone well, and a 5V 20000ma power bank can fully charge your mobile phone

1. The alkaline battery casing is made of steel and is magnetically conductive, which affects the frequency of the oscillator coil. , although the impact is very small, it also leads to inaccurate time over time.

2. The carbon battery casing is made of zinc and has no magnetic conductivity, so it can be used normally.

3. The high current of alkaline batteries and the small current of carbon batteries have no effect on the clock.

4. If the coil is far away from the battery, it will not affect the battery used. But be careful to prevent leakage!

I just bought an electronic silent hand wall clock. The salesperson told me that the two AA batteries that drive the hands use ordinary alkaline batteries, while the one that drives the LCD digital display uses one carbon battery. AA battery. But in the end, I was told that the low-power "retired" battery that drives the LCD display can be used instead. I had doubts then. Why did display drivers first use carbon batteries? Can I use any battery in the future? This clock has been used for five years now, and the battery has been replaced once during this period, but it has not changed the nature of the battery. The clock is still running fine now.

1 Not absolute,

2 Because the output current of alkaline batteries is greater than that of carbon batteries,

3 The voltage of new batteries reaches 1.65V. If alkaline batteries are used, A high-current battery will work at full capacity for the clock's chip, which will of course cause fatigue easily.

4 The chip of the electric clock is designed to oscillate at 60HZ per minute. Its beating per second is the rated frequency of the chip that controls the conversion of electrical energy to magnetic energy to drive the second hand. When the battery meets the power requirement, the electric clock uses a new Alkaline high current batteries are not as durable as carbon batteries.

5 In order to ensure the longevity of the electric clock, no matter what kind of battery, old batteries with a voltage of 1.2V or 1.4V can be used, because only 60 pulsations per minute are very energy-saving.

Thank you!

On the 5th, because the Japanese dual-display wall clock couldn’t keep time properly with a 3A domestic battery, and the dual-display couldn’t work properly, I went to Compass to buy a single-display wall clock. The boss reminded me: it can only use carbon If alkaline or high-performance batteries are used, the wall clock may not work properly.

Who told you that alkaline batteries cannot be used in wall clocks? Have you tried it? Whether it is nickel metal hydride rechargeable batteries, carbon batteries, alkaline batteries, or disposable lithium batteries, I have used them. The clock still runs fine. However, if the voltage of the lithium battery is too high (1.7V or more), it will cause the quartz clock to Walk a little faster. It is not recommended to use high-power and high-discharge batteries based on cost and cost-effectiveness considerations. In the past, alkaline batteries were much more expensive than carbon batteries. There was no need to use alkaline batteries. Now the price is not much different, so you don’t have to worry about it, as long as the voltage is suitable. Just use it.

It is recommended to use alkaline batteries for electronic clocks. These batteries have large capacity and long service life, and there is no problem of carbon batteries corroding mechanical parts due to leakage. Those rumors on the Internet that alkaline batteries have high current and can easily burn out the movement are completely nonsense!

The reason why quartz clocks cannot be used with alkaline batteries is a joke.

The LR series and SR series button batteries used in quartz watches are all alkaline batteries, not carbon-based. I have never heard of quartz watches being damaged or inaccurate due to the use of alkaline batteries. How come a quartz clock with a larger movement than a quartz watch cannot use alkaline electricity?

The quartz clock I use at home is a Guangdong-made "Uranus" brand I bought in 1998. The price at that time was about 100 yuan. Since I bought it, I have been using alkaline batteries of Nanfu, Shuanglu, Changhong and other brands. , it has been used normally for 22 years, keeps accurate time, and has never had any problems. Generally, the battery should be replaced every one and a half to two years.

AA alkaline batteries are the most commonly used batteries in offices and homes. Movement designers and manufacturers will not fail to see this, and they will definitely design and manufacture movements and batteries that use alkaline batteries. Clocks, if they didn’t even have this design and manufacturing capability, would have been eliminated by the market long ago.

If the watch uses a low-end movement or even an inferior movement, it is hard to say.

The journey of burning two movements

Nowadays, alkaline batteries of various brands are easy to leak. Even if they are not left at home for three or four years, they will leak, or leak. The probability is very high, including Energizer and Nanfu (Energizer and Duracell 20 years ago will not leak for ten years) and now genuine carbon batteries of major brands will not leak for several years, or they will leak. The chance of liquid leakage is very small, and this is the key to the problem.
