Leclanché cell
The Leclanché cell is a battery invented and patented by the French scientist Georges Leclanché in 1866. The battery contained a conducting solution (electrolyte) of ammonium chloride, a cathode (positive terminal) of carbon, a depolarizer of manganese dioxide (oxidizer), and an anode (negative terminal) of zinc (reductant). The chemistry of this cell was later successfully adapted to manufacture a dry cell.

Leclanché is a company that makes batteries. It took over the name of the Leclanché cell company when it was created in 1909.
Through a licensed ceramic separator technology and focus on lithium titanate technology, Leclanché manufactures large-format lithium-ion cells. At the end of the second quarter 2012, Leclanché started operations of its first production line with an installed annual capacity of up to 76 MWh in lithium titanate cells.
Leclanché was founded in 1909 in Yverdon-les-Bains. Through the integration of
