What is the capacity of a R6 AA 1.5V alkaline battery?

I am very pleased with my colleagues, the enthusiasm to act on the subject and point out mistakes. In this respect, the electrode is the undisputed leader in the world.
And now I have such a request. Put yourself in the shoes of a man who wants to know something. He is not an electronics engineer, he is not a technician, but he would like to start his adventure with electronics. He enters a magic question into the search engine that directs him here. Read this discussion now and tell me how much you learned and at what point do you stop reading these teasing and digressions. This is how we discourage new users from visiting here.

On the one hand, as Users, you expect a high level of content in the forum, specialized topics, professionalism, and on the other hand, most of the forum's life takes place in departments for beginners or in departments with so much specialization that only a few can write there. The community is aging, specialists are leaving and levels are falling. Either we give others a chance to gain basic knowledge and start expanding our community, or we continue to be ultra correct on insignificant matters, remain silent on complex matters, and disappear before we even know it is over.
If someone thinks that such a guide is bad, please write a better one. Legible, understandable, concise, answering questions asked by people coming to elektroda.pl. I invite you to cooperation.

And how many oils should the author of these cuts in his head have?

Moderated By dondu:

3.1.9. Do not be ironic and do not be malicious with the other side of the discussion. Please respect dissenting opinion and other opinions in the forum.

The author of this and many other guides, our colleague @stabilizer undertook an extremely thankless task, i.e. developing a series of guides for non-electronics, for beginners, for those who do not know yet where and what information to look for. That is why these guides are placed in the For Beginners section.
We can expand them, add graphics, add videos, add more issues and we will probably do it, but the attitude of a few colleagues effectively discourages from taking any action. Mocking, insulting, and calling idiots (in reports) are behaviors that cannot be found on any other forum. Thanks to the recent activities, we learned a lot about the behavior of various people on the forum.
As the department administrator, I do not agree to insult the people who create the materials. I am asking for a substantive and cultural discussion, but please do not offend anyone. It is surprising to me that people with extensive experience, aspiring to the rank of specialists, spend so much time and energy on these simple topics, when we also have many others and there is no discussion there.
I repeat my request to all malcontents - if someone does not like the content of a guide, please develop a better material. Show that you can create, not just criticize. And if you criticize, then constructively, showing how to do something better. Paraphrasing a colleague @ zadam64 show how many of these oils you have in your head.

However, I believe that it is better told / explained and with more correctness than this article. Also, the link only refers to one of the many videos on fundamentals of electrical engineering / electronics - so isn't it better to refer those interested to this YT channel? And if someone had something to say that would expand the issue - just write.
This article (unfortunately), as well as some other stabilizer written by my colleague, according to my opinion (only mine, of course) is not clear for a total layman and an amateur who has already mastered the basic information, and even contains some kind of "simplifications" that make more confusion (as can be seen from the posts) than help to understand the meaning of the issue.

With all due respect to my colleague, the stabilizer - unfortunately, it does not have something that could help in writing a clear and simple article.
Not everyone is simply born an editor.

This series is a bit different than typical articles / news, we are testing new forms of materials.
Most of the tutorial materials for beginners are created thanks to the action of a larger group of people, and this is also the case with the last series,
sometimes such information about the group of authors is placed at the end of the first post, and sometimes it is omitted as it is not about "fame" and providing good content.

It is surprising that materials for beginners are created by several people, and materials with a higher level of sophistication are often created by one person or another person who makes corrections.

On elektroda.pl, everyone can try their hand at writing and presenting their material,
I encourage you to see how much time it takes to write accessible content, but also how much satisfaction it gives and how much you can learn.

It is always the case that some people will like the material and others will not. The author of the material also has the opportunity to correct significant errors, if such are noticed, this is the strength of the forum. The text is alive, we can improve / improve the placed material and verify our knowledge at the same time. Comments under the material can be a natural extension of it.

This series of experimental topics worried me only in terms of the possible demotivation of people starting their adventure with content creation, due to the reactions of some recipients disproportionately intense to possible inaccuracies. If there are comments that will allow us to develop or correct the text, then we will all learn something.
Worse, if someone proves by force that something undefined is wrong and the material should be removed, and its author will be personally attacked, it does not serve anyone, and the debutant may be discouraged ... There were also voices that the subject was too simple to be to move around, let's try to take care of both beginners and advanced.

Dear colleagues,

I got through your "discussions" and if I rarely speak (I prefer to read) this time everything that could be poured into me. I know from my own experience that writing the simplest text on any topic requires devoting specific resources of time and knowledge (both substantive and pedagogical). So let's try to help understand the problem and find the right language (sender-receiver coding problem) instead of nibbling on and proving that mine just has to be at the top. It is very easy to devalue - remember that.
For years I have been observing a decline in the quality of teaching at all its levels (horror of horrors!), Which unfortunately translates into the knowledge of the "blacksmiths", so let's not deny the willingness to pass it on and expand it, and to reach those who are not experts, but want to know.

Who reads battery datasheets? It's like um .. analyze the angle at which the dot above the letter "f" should be. From the interesting facts about 1.5 V batteries, has anyone paid attention to their weight or construction? I recently bought a few nonyms on sale and I was surprised by their weight and design. The batteries were to be cut with an ordinary wallpaper knife, they were light. I was wondering what kind of crane is inside. The capacity was also lousy, they died quickly with the LED lamp.

The user is definitely not, he has to buy batteries of the right size and put them in, maybe he will have enough intelligence for this extremely difficult task. The constructor of electronic devices should read the documentation to ensure reasonable functional properties of the designed device, I had several devices that were poorly designed, one turned off after using half of the available load, the other took 1.5A from RL6 - often failed, several devices whose current was "turned off" "was so large that they discharged in a short time, the record - discharge of a freshly charged battery in one day in the" off "device!

According to the dictionary, the word "battery" describes a set of identical elements combined into one working system. These can be cannons, bottles, or two Angolan taps for cold and boiling water combined into one double.

Cool, just what you will do like 99% of the public in the definition from a dictionary deep in ... Everyone knows what a battery is. Once there were batteries in phones, now they are gone
As everyone knows what a light bulb is (something with LEDs that shine) or a halogen (such a light bulb with mushroom-shaped LEDs)

I was just trying to explain, perhaps not very well, where the name "battery" of the device with which we fill the bath comes from. The mushroom on the wall doesn't look like a "mushroom" either .

In fact, I forgot that this is a beginner translation topic.

Do you think that high-class designers review the Electrode? They analyze what battery based on ... You went ..

In the past, I used R20 batteries to power my alarms.
I set up an alarm at the company's sales representative, whose batteries in the ad "lasted 7 times longer".
I asked about the battery capacity - he said I don't know.
When asked to a competent person - who is to know?

It was the same with washing powders better than "ordinary" washing powders, only nobody knew which was the "regular" one.

If the company gave a specific number anywhere, the entire marketing "job" would be wasted
In order to sell, nobody has to know what the capacity is, and they don't even have to know what the capacity is or Ah.

Many manufacturers offer "industrial" batteries that have quite detailed documentation, so you can satisfy your curiosity:

Competent in sales matters, not technical parameters

Exactly - the seller is supposed to sell, so he must know how to sell. For him, the technical parameters (their knowledge) are simply not recommended.
It's easier to lie ...

The capacity largely depends on the storage period of the cell on a store shelf and the discharge current. On the Internet, capacity tests were even on the electrode.
