An electrochemical cell, such as a battery (10), having a large amount of electrolytic solution relative to the amount of manganese dioxide and/or zinc particles. The cathode (12) can have a weight ratio of manganese dioxide to electrolytic solution of from about 2.2 to about 2.9, and a weight ratio of zinc particles in the anode (14) to electrolytic solution can be from about 0.9 to about 1.25.
