That's interesting. Graphite is basically carbon and that is pretty much all the way at one end of the galvanic scale. Aluminum is just a few elements in from zinc, which is at the other end. I'm surprised to see them together in that mix. The carrier lubricant must be pretty good at keeping the moisture out.
Back in the old days, when EverReady batteries were silver and had a black cat jumping through a red 9 on the label, they were made of carbon and zinc with an electrolyte because those chemicals were so galvaniclly active that they produced usable voltage & current.
