false, there only two types of electrochemical cells. Wet and dry cells.
Wet cells are types of electrochemical cells that use a liquid electrolyte to facilitate the flow of electric current. Common examples include lead-acid batteries, often used in vehicles, and nickel-cadmium (NiCd) batteries, typically found in rechargeable devices. These cells rely on the movement of ions in the liquid electrolyte to generate electricity. Other examples are certain types of alkaline batteries that may contain liquid electrolyte solutions.
Electrolyte is the term used to indicate charged solutions contained in wet cell batteries. It serves as the medium for the flow of ions between the electrodes, allowing the battery to generate electricity through a chemical reaction.
Dry cells and wet cells are both types of electrochemical cells that produce electrical energy through chemical reactions. They both consist of two different electrodes immersed in an electrolyte solution to facilitate the flow of electrons. However, dry cells use a paste electrolyte, while wet cells use a liquid electrolyte.
Two types of electromagnetic cells are photovoltaic cells, which convert sunlight into electricity, and fuel cells, which produce electricity through chemical reactions between fuel and oxygen.
No wet cells only store current.
Dry cells use a damp paste electrolyte in a sealed housing so the electrolyte can not spill or leak from the cell and damage the equipment it powers. Wet cells use a liquid electrolyte that can spill and/or leak from the cell and severely damage the equipment it powers. Almost all early battery cells were wet cells with the electrolyte contained in either a glass beaker or glazed pottery crock. The user had to periodically add water to keep them from drying out and being damaged, also he had to be careful not to spill or crack the cell. Almost all modern cells are dry cells because they don't spill or leak and require no user maintenance. The main wet cell still used is the lead-acid battery used in car batteries (and some of these have the acid gelled to keep it from spilling or leaking). Dry cells have generally replaced wet cells because they are more practical.
