A battery called “Heavy Duty” is Carbon-Zinc chemistry, i.e. a battery chemistry with very little energy and power.












The low enery and power is also obvious here, the load must be keept very low to get any energy from the battery.









Conclusion

This battery can power a DMM (4-10mA current draw for some hours), but not anything with more current draw. Alkaline have 2 to 3 time the energy and even more with a bit of load.
