Amabhethri e-alkaline awuhlobo lwebhethri elilahlwayo elisebenzisa i-alkaline electrolyte, ngokuvamile i-potassium hydroxide, ukunika amandla amadivayisi amancane kagesi njengezilawuli kude, amathoyizi, namathoshi. Baziwa ngempilo yabo yeshelufu ende nokusebenza okuthembekile, okubenza babe ukukhetha okudumile kwezinhlobonhlobo zama-electronics abathengi. Lapho ibhethri lisetshenziswa, ukusabela kwamakhemikhali kwenzeka phakathi kwe-zinc anode ne-manganese dioxide cathode, okukhiqiza amandla kagesi.

Amabhethri ane-alkaline avame ukusetshenziswa ezinhlobonhlobo zemishini yansuku zonke, njengezilawuli kude, amathoshi, amathoyizi, nezinto zikagesi eziphathwayo. Baziwa ngokunikeza amandla athembekile futhi baneshalofu ende yokuphila, okubenza bafanelekele izinhlelo zokusebenza ezihlukahlukene. Kodwa-ke, kubalulekile ukuqaphela ukuthi amabhethri e-alkaline kufanele alahlwe ngendlela efanele ukuze kuncishiswe umthelela wawo kwezemvelo ngoba amanye amabhethri e-alkaline asaqukethe izinto eziyingozi, njenge-mercury, izinsimbi ezisindayo njenge-cadmium nomthofu. Uma la mabhethri engalahlwa ngendlela efanele, lezi zinto zingangena emhlabathini nasemanzini, zibangele ukulimala esimisweni semvelo. Kubalulekile ukuvuselela amabhethri e-alkaline ukuze uvimbele ukukhululwa kwalezi zinto eziyingozi endaweni ezungezile.

Yingakho ukusebenzisa amabhethri e-alkaline angenayo i-mercury kungaba nomthelela ekuvikelweni kwemvelo. I-Mercury iwubuthi obungaba nemiphumela elimazayo emvelweni nempilo yomuntu. Ngokukhetha amabhethri ane-mercury engu-0%, ungasiza ekwehliseni umthelela omubi ongaba khona wezinto eziyingozi endaweni. Ukwengeza, kubalulekile ukulahla ngendlela efanele bese ugaywa kabusha amabhethri ukuze unciphise umthelela wendawo. Ukukhethaamabhethri e-alkaline angenayo i-mercurykuyisinyathelo esihle sokuvikela imvelo.
Nakuba ukugaywa kabusha kwamabhethri e-alkaline kuzuzisa, kubalulekile futhi ukuhlola ezinye izinketho, ongakhetha kuzo ezihambisana nemvelo, njengokusebenzisa amabhethri aphinde ashajwe (isb:AA/AAA NiMH Amabhethri Aphinde ashajwe,18650 lithium-ion ibhethri elishajekayo) noma ukufuna imikhiqizo enemithombo yamandla ehlala isikhathi eside (Isibonelo:umthamo ophezulu webhethri ye-AAA Alkaline,umthamo omkhulu AA Alkaline ibhethri). Ekugcineni, inhlanganisela yokulahlwa okunomthwalo wemfanelo kanye nokushintshela kwezinye izindlela ezisimeme kungaba nomthelela ekuvikelweni kwemvelo.
