When cells are combined into batteries, the potential of the battery is an integer multiple of the potential of a single cell. There are two basic types of batteries: primary and secondary. Primary batteries are “single use” and cannot be recharged. Dry cells and (most) alkaline batteries are examples of primary batteries. The second type is rechargeable and is called a secondary battery.

If the battery is recharged too vigorously, however, electrolysis of water can occur, resulting in the evolution of potentially explosive hydrogen gas. (For more information on electrolysis, see Section 17.7.) The gas bubbles formed in this way can dislodge some of the PbSO 4 or PbO 2 particles from the grids, allowin…

Some of the PbSO 4 formed at the electrodes becomes dislodged and falls to the bottom of the container where it is no longer available to take part in the recharging electrolysis.

In this section we are going to apply some of the fundamentals of electricity that were introduced previously to the operations of electrochemical cells.

A battery is a contained unit that produces electricity, whereas a fuel cell is a galvanic cell that requires a constant external supply of one or more reactants to generate electricity. One type of battery is the Leclanché dry cell, which contains an electrolyte in an acidic water-based paste.
