The standard comparison functions used with numeric variables don’t work with strings. Consider using strcmp or its many friends (most of them linked to on that page). One of them should work for you.

I don’t have your data so I can’t run your code or test this, but see if:
if strcmpi(alldata{i,6},'battery') % search for word "battery"
improves your code.
It uses the strcmpi (case-insensitive string comparison) to do the test.
