An alkaline cell having an anode with a solid large particle gelling agent(26) centrally disposed therein for increasing concentration of zinc powder closer to the separator (23) and cathode (20). The anode initially contains zinc powder, gelling agent and electrolyte solution. A dry solid gelling agent, preferably configured as a cylindrical rod, is disposed into a gel type anode and allowed to absorb electrolyte solution, the rod thereby swelling in size to consume greater volume while concentrating the zinc powder toward the separator. |
