Can a dry cell battery be recharged?
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.
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.
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.
Is a flashlight a wet cell or a dry cell?
Generally we call them dry cells. However, the electrolyte in an alkaline cell is fairly liquid, so it may be a case of the technology outstripping the terminology. The old 'dry cell'/'wet cell' division really is no longer valid. We talk of 'primary cells' for cells that cannot be recharged, and 'secondary cells' for those that can.
What type of battery can be recharged?
There are many types of rechargeable batteries on the market today. Rechargeable batteries need are electrical and comprise of one or more electrochemical cells in order to be able to be recharged.
Do wet cells and a generator both produce direct current?
No wet cells only store current.
What do dry cells and wet cells have in common?
P
Give example of primary secondary cells?
A primary cell can't be recharged, for example am ordinary 'D' cell, while secondary cells are rechargeable, e.g. one of the cells in a car battery.
Can a primary cell be recharged?
no, you would have to get another one or on bigger cells you cant replace the electrodes. if you did recharge then they normally explode.
What is a lithium-ion cells?
It is a type of battery that can be recharged in which the anode contains lithiam and the cathode is made of a type of porous carbon.
Can battery be made of dry cells or wet cells?
Yes, could be either.
When the voltage difference between any 2 cells in a battery reaches 0.5 volts the battery usually must be what?
Recharged or replaced
