Secondary batteries is the engineering name for batteries that can be recharged.
Primary cells are designed to be used once and discarded. Secondary cells are, by definition, rechargeable batteries, and as such are the kind used in rechargeable torches (or flashlights, for you American types).

Lithium-ion polymer batteries, polymer lithium ion, or more commonly lithium polymer batteries (abbreviated Li-poly, Li-Pol, LiPo, LIP, PLI or LiP) are rechargeable (secondary cell) batteries. LiPo batteries are usually composed of several identical secondary cells in parallel to increase the discharge current capability.

Recharging reverses the electrochemical reactions that happened as the secondary battery discharged. Once recharged the secondary battery is in almost the same condition as when new. You cannot reverse the electrochemical reactions of primary batteries.
No, a fuel cell is not considered a secondary cell. Fuel cells generate electricity through a chemical reaction involving a fuel source and an oxidizing agent, without the need for recharging like secondary cells, such as batteries.
About three billion batteries are sold annually in the U.S. averaging about 32 per family or ten per person.
A primary cell cannot be recharged whereas a secondary cell can be recharged. In a primary cell chemical reaction is irreversible whereas in a secondary cell chemical reaction is reversible. ... A primary cell is light and less expensive whereas a secondary cell is heavy and expensive.
Panasonic offers a range of primary and secondary batteries, such as rechargeable cylinder/coin, nickel metal hydride, lead acid VRLA and alkaline. The two main categories are industrial and consumer.
First off, a battery is what you get when you stick several cells together, so for the most common 1.5 volts the strictly correct answer is that they are cells, not batteries. The 9 volt rectangular thingies though, they are batteries. Primary vs secondary is about rechargeable or not. A primary is not rechargeable, so a Duracell would most likely be a Primary cell.
Yes. All lithium is the same: the element lithium (Li). Lithium carbonate itself is not typically used in batteries however. You can have lithium metal (neutral) or lithium ions (positively charged). Lithium carbonate is composed of lithium ions, and there are actually both lithium ions and lithium metal in batteries.
A rechargeable electrochemical cell is known as a secondary cell. Unlike primary cells, which are designed for single use and cannot be recharged, secondary cells can be recharged by reversing the chemical reactions that occur during discharge. Common examples of secondary cells include lithium-ion batteries and nickel-cadmium batteries. These cells are widely used in portable electronics and electric vehicles due to their ability to store and release energy multiple times.
