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.

The theoretically ...While an internal-combustion engine is only about 25% efficient and a steam engine about 35% efficient, the H 2 –O 2 cell just described can already operate at an efficiency of 45%. The theoretically highest possible efficiency of such a cell, set by the second law of thermodynamics, is 83%. Because of this high efficiency many possible uses and developments for fuel cells have been proposed.

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.
