An alkaline dry battery of this invention includes: a cylindrical battery case with a bottom; a cylindrical positive electrode having a hollow, being in contact with an inner face of the battery case, and containing a manganese dioxide powder and a graphite powder; a negative electrode disposed in the hollow of the positive electrode; a separator interposed between the positive electrode and the negative electrode; and an alkaline electrolyte. The positive electrode has cracks therein, and the cracks are substantially arc-shaped in a cross-section perpendicular to the axial direction of the positive electrode and extend in the axial direction of the positive electrode. The positive electrode has a manganese dioxide density of 2.15 to 2.30 g/cm3. |
