The Leclanché battery wet cell was the forerunner of the modern zinc–carbon battery (a dry cell). The addition of zinc chloride to the electrolyte paste raises the e.m.f. to 1.5 volts.OverviewThe Leclanché cell is a invented and patented by the French scientist in 1866. The. . In 1866, invented a battery that consisted of a zinc anode and a cathode wrapped in a porous material, dipped in a jar of solution. The manganes. . The original form of the cell used a porous pot. This gave it a relatively high internal resistance, and various modifications were made to reduce the resistance. These included the "Agglomerate block cell" and the "Sack c.
