Cells and batteries; primary, manganese dioxide

HS v2022 Code: 850610

About cells and batteries; primary, manganese dioxide

HS code 850610 covers primary cells and batteries that use manganese dioxide as the active material. These types of batteries are widely used in a variety of electronic devices, from remote controls and flashlights to clocks and toys. They are an essential component of the global electronics industry, providing portable power solutions for consumers and businesses alike. The production and trade of these batteries play a significant role in the broader economy, supporting the functioning of numerous other industries.

Production process

The production of manganese dioxide primary cells and batteries typically involves several key steps. First, the manganese dioxide is processed and combined with other materials, such as zinc and electrolytes, to create the active components of the battery. These components are then assembled into the desired battery form, which may include cylindrical, button, or other shapes. The batteries are then sealed and packaged for distribution and sale.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of HS code 850610 batteries include manganese dioxide, zinc, electrolytes, and various other materials and components used in the battery assembly process. Specialized machinery and equipment are also necessary to manufacture these batteries efficiently and to the required quality standards. Additionally, the industry relies on a skilled workforce to operate the production lines and ensure consistent output.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 850610 is, of course, manganese dioxide primary cells and batteries. These batteries are then consumed by a wide range of other industries, including 851830 Headphones, earphones and combined microphone/speaker sets for portable audio devices, 851711 Telephone sets, including telephones for cellular networks or for other wireless networks for communication devices, and 950430 Games operated by coins, banknotes, bank cards, tokens or by any other means of payment for various types of electronic games and toys.
