It's actually "galvanic" and "alkaline" cells, but no matter.
To understand any battery you must first understand the galvanic series, which says that if you take two dissimilar metals and create a conductive path between them, which is called the electrolyte, electricity will flow from one to the other. (The galvanic series was actually invented for sailors so they'd know what metals on their ships would corrode fastest in seawater.) So if you wanted to build a battery that puts out two volts, you'd pick two metals that are two volts apart on the galvanic series.
A galvanic cell has two metals submerged in sulfate solutions of themselves (normally copper in copper sulfate and zinc in zinc sulfate), and a conductive pathway connecting the two containers of sulfate solutions.
Any other kind of battery has the two metals submerged in the same container of electrolyte. An alkaline battery uses a potassium hydroxide paste as its electrolyte.

What is the difference between galvanized and alkalized cell?
Galvanic cells are classified as either primary or secondary. A primary cell is used once and then thrown away when exhausted. A common example is an alkaline dry cell. Alkaline cells are a subset of galvanic cells. Galvanic cells are more generic and use any metals. Alkaline batteries are a type of disposable battery or rechargeable battery dependent upon the reaction between zinc and manganese (IV) oxide (Zn/MnO2). The alkaline battery gets its name because it has an alkaline electrolyte of potassium hydroxide, as opposed to the acidic electrolyte of the zinc-carbon batteries which are offered in the same nominal voltages and physical size.
What are galvanic cells silver?
Galvanic cells containing silver typically involve a silver/silver chloride (Ag/AgCl) electrode as one of the electrodes. These cells work by harnessing the potential difference between the silver and the electrolyte solution to generate electrical energy. Silver galvanic cells are commonly used in medical devices, sensors, and small electronic applications due to their stable voltage output.
What is the difference between galvanized and alkanized cells?
Alkalized cells use the alkali metal groups of the periodic table or the rare alkaline earth elements. Galvanized cells use any and all metals.
What is the difference between a galvanic cell and a voltaic cell?
A voltaic battery is also known as a voltaic pile, which is a set (or pile) of galvanic cells linked together in series to create a larger voltage than could be generated by a single galvanic cell. Therefore a voltaic cell would simply be one element of the pile which is also one galvanic cell.
What is the uses of galvanic cells?
it use to generate electricity
What is a galvanic cells?
aluminum oxidized, zinc reduced
What the difference between cylindrical and prismatic battery cells?
What is the difference between cylindrical and prismatic battery cells?
What is contained in the electrolyte solutions of a galvanic cell?
The electrolyte solutions in a galvanic cell contain ions that allow for the flow of electric current between the two half-cells. These ions help maintain charge balance and facilitate the chemical reactions that generate electricity.
What are alkalized cells?
are a sub set of galvanic cells the used metals in the alkali metal group of the periodic tabel
What are the primary difference between prokaryotes cells and eukaryotes cells?
The main primary difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells is that the prokaryotic cells don't contain a nucleus. The eukaryotic cells are also larger than the prokaryotic cells.
What is true of both galvanic and electrolytic cells?
*electrolytic cells Oxidation occurs at the cathode
What is the difference between plants cells animal cells and fungi?
They are all cells or whatever
