Rechargeable versions of alkaline manganese dioxide-zinc batteries need to be protected against overcharge especially in multiple-cell series arrangements. It is necessary to shift the cathodic overcharge reaction to pure oxygen evolution instead of manganate(VI,VII) formation and to consume the oxygen produced either via a recombination reaction with hydrogen upon a suitable catalyst or by reaction with a chemically active zinc anode.
