Batteries

Whether a battery is rechargeable or not is determined by the type of cells that make up the battery

• TRUE

• FALSE

This type of battery cannot be recharged

This device for converting chemical energy into electric energy is a voltaic cell

• TRUE

• FALSE

It is a very common type because of its low cost

• Zinc Chloride Cells

• Alkaline Cells

• Carbon Zinc Cells

• Mercury Cells

It has many applications because of its ability to work at high efficiency with continuous, high discharge rates.

• Zinc Chloride Cells

• Alkaline Cells

• Nickel-Cadmium (NiCd) Cell

• Nickel-Metal-Hydride (NiMH) Cell

• Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion) Cell

• Nickel-Iron Cell

This type is popular because of its ability to deliver high current and to be cycled many times for recharging

• Nickel-Cadmium (NiCd) Cell

• Nickel-Metal-Hydride (NiMH) Cell

• Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion) Cell

• Nickel-Iron Cell

This type of battery can be recharged because the chemical action is reversible.
