Wet Cell vs Dry Cell Batterries

Wet Cell vs Dry Cell Batterries

What is the difference between "wet cell batteries" and dry cell batteries?
Wet cell battery uses liquid electrolyte oppose to dry cell battery using electrolyte paste.


Where do we commonly find examples of each?
Wet cell batteries are commonly used in vehicle batteries such as cars, motorcycles and airplanes. Dry cell battery can be commonly found in phones, laptops, toys and small objects that need batteries.

Why are some batteries able to be recharged and others not?
There are two types of batteries a primary cell battery and a secondary cell battery, primary cell batteries aren't capable to recharge whilst a secondary batteries can. The ability for batteries to recharge depends on the elements used, cheap materials such as manganese that's ussually used in primary cell batteries can easily corrode and the reaction will be spent resulting to a dead battery. Hence the reason for rechargable batteries tending to cost more due to the metals used to create it such as lithium, the better the materials used the less it corrodes and be able to be recharged.
