Some wet cells can be recharged (e.g. lead acid cell) some wet cells can't be recharged (e.g. gravity cell).
Some dry cells can be recharged (e.g. NiMH cell) some wet cells can't be recharged (e.g. carbon zinc cell).
It depends on the cell chemistry not the wet/dry construction. Also any wet cell can be made into a dry cell by absorbing the wet electrolyte into something and making a damp paste electrolyte.
What else can I help you with?
Why can you charge a car battery but not a torch battery?
A torch (flashlight) battery is a dry cell, and is not designed to be recharged.
Do both wet cells and dry cells work the same way?
No- different materials, different functions. Wet cell batteries are USUALLY storage batteries- they are recharged. Dry cell batteries are USUALLY supply batteries- a chemical reaction produces electrical power. When chemical are used up, the battery stops producing power, and cannot be recharged. The battery in most cars is a wet cell, batteries in most flashlights is a dry cell.
Can a wet cell battery gone dry be recharged after adding distilled water?
Yes, if there was no damage done to the cells. Give it a try, you have nothing to loose.
What devices converts chemical energy into electrical energy?
A cell in a rechargeable battery does that when it's being recharged.
Is a lead acid battery a secondary cell?
Yes, a lead-acid battery is a secondary cell because it can be recharged and reused multiple times. It is commonly used in automotive and industrial applications due to its ability to be discharged and recharged efficiently.
Which rechargable batteries can be partially recharged without ruining the battery life?
A rechargable deep cycle battery can be fully discharged without damaging the battery. Any auto battery cannot be discharged without damaging the battery. Any dry cell rechargable battery can be fully discharged without damaging the battery.
What is a wet cell and how is it different than the dry cell batteries that are so common today?
A wet cell is a secondary cell that can be recharged after they had been used up by passing current backwards through them. It is different from the dry cell in that dry cell are not rechargeable.
How a dry cell car battery looks like?
The connections on a dry cell auto battery are totally different than a regular wet cell battery.
What converts chemical energy into electrical energy?
A cell in a rechargeable battery does that when it's being recharged.
What are some examples of a dry cell battery and a wet cell battery?
A dry cell battery is full of solid or paste-like electrolytes. One example of a dry cell is anode, which is a zinc metal. A wet cell battery is full of liquid electrolytes. One example of a liquid cell is an old car battery.
Does a dry cell battery produce alternating current or direct current?
directA dry cell battery produces DC.
Would a battery made out of lemon and two metals be a wet cell or a dry cell battery?
wet cell battery
