The phrase "a dry battery" is a correct and usable phrase in written English.
This phrase can be used when referring to any type of battery that does not require fluid for its operation. For example, "I will need to buy a dry battery since the one in my remote control isn't working."
Margery Allingham's Albert Campion, asked (in the 1938 The Fashion in Shrouds) how his beautiful fiancée Amanda keeps her stockings up replies "Two magnets and a dry-battery, if I know her, or perhaps something complicated on the grid system" – because she, rather splendidly, is an engineer and much more practical than her future husband.
After receiving a technical education in Luxembourg and Germany, Gernsback traveled to the United States in 1904 to market an improved dry battery that he had invented.
This result is supported by a device, which is driven by a 1.50 V dry battery (the inset in Figs. 4a and S10).
As-prepared CMS/Ni shows highly catalytic activity for OER and HER in basic medium and can catalyze water splitting by a 1.50 V dry battery.
More importantly, the assembled CMS/Ni//CMS/Ni device for overall water splitting can be driven by a 1.50 V dry battery, indicating the great potential for practical applications.
More importantly, this versatile CMS/Ni can catalyze the water splitting in a two-electrode system at a potential of 1.47 V, and this electrolyzer can be efficiently driven by a 1.50 V commercial dry battery.
Fe2 SO4 3, FeSO4·H2O, and FeSO4·7H2O are used as herbicides, micronutrient for crops, an electrolyte in dry batteries, a supplement in animal feed, and as a galvanizer.
His prototype was powered with a dry pile battery.
The manganese dioxide samples collected from the seats near the focal point and from Frank's body indicated that a dry cell battery was located very near to the explosive.
