This study aims to determine the effect of calcium carbonate (CaCO 3 ) electrolyte on the conductivity value of electrolyte paste and electrical properties of batteries such as voltage, current and power generated. The electrolyte paste in this study was prepared by mixing corn cobs powder as sources of cellulose. PVA as gelling agent, and HCl as catalyst. The best conductivity value obtained from a mixture of CaCO 3 electrolyte of 0.5:1 (w/v) with addition of 0.5 grams of corn cobs powder and 1 gram of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA). The best result of electrical properties obtained from electrolyte paste with ratio approximately 0.5:1 (w/v). Overall electrical properties resulted from this study meet properties of commercial battery.
