The discharge reaction mechanism of the Leclanche cells was studied. The cell were discharged through flash light continuously. Discharge products were examined by chenical analysis and X-Ray diffraction. The discharge reaction product was MnOOH in a homogeneous solid-phase reaction. The X-Ray diffraction evidence on the single phase reduction of MnO^2 to MnOOH were presented. The products of these discharge reactions will be dependent on the kinds of Manganese Dioxide, electrloytes, potentials, and depth of discharge.
