Cells and batteries; primary, silver oxide

HS v2022 Code: 850640

About cells and batteries; primary, silver oxide

HS code 850640 covers primary cells and batteries with a silver oxide as the active material. These types of batteries are widely used in various electronic devices, watches, and other applications that require a reliable and long-lasting power source. The silver oxide battery industry plays a crucial role in supporting the broader electronics and consumer goods sectors, enabling the operation of a wide range of products that have become integral to modern life.

Production process

The production of silver oxide batteries typically involves several key steps. First, the active materials, including silver oxide and other components, are prepared and mixed. The mixture is then pressed into a pellet or button shape, which forms the core of the battery. The battery casing, often made of stainless steel or other metals, is then assembled around the core. Finally, the battery is sealed and tested to ensure proper functioning.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of silver oxide batteries include the raw materials for the active components, such as silver oxide, zinc, and other metals. Additionally, the manufacturing process requires specialized machinery and equipment, such as presses, sealers, and testing devices. Skilled labor, particularly in the areas of material preparation, assembly, and quality control, is also a crucial input for this industry.

Production outputs

The primary output of the silver oxide battery industry is, of course, the batteries themselves. These batteries are commonly used in 850630 Cells and batteries; primary, lithium, 850650 Cells and batteries; primary, other, and 850660 Cells and batteries; primary, air-zinc applications, as well as in various consumer electronics, medical devices, and other products that require a reliable and long-lasting power source.
