What is the difference between a re chargeable and non-rechargeable battery?

Answer 1

yes there is. There are a few differences between the two. Some are than lithium ion batteries are rechargable whilst lithium batteries cannot be recharged. Also lithium batteries use lithium in pure forms whilst lithium ion batteries use lithium compounds to produce their charge. Lithium batteries can be seen in items like watches. An example of a lithium ion battery is a mobile phone battery.

Answer 2

As the name applies: rechargeable batteries allow you to recharge them and they are reusable, however, their efficiency is lesser than the first time you use them ex. a new battery may have the efficiency of 100%, after using and recharging the efficiency may fall down to 80%, this stays 80% for some time and then as you use them more and more they charge out The non-rechargeable can only be used once and then has to be thrown away:)

Answer 3

Primary batteries/cells AKA regular batteries/cells AKA non-rechargeable batteries/cells use a non-reversible (runs in one direction only) chemical reaction to provide the electric power. Once they are used up, that's it.

Secondary batteries/cells AKA rechargeable batteries/cells use a reversible chemical reaction to provide the electric power. When they're used up, electricity can be pushed back in to reverse the chemical reaction, charging the battery and making it ready to deliver power once again.

Answer 4

rechargeable batteries last longer because you can charge them. if you get a non rechargeable battery then it will run out and then you have to waste money on getting new batteries.

Answer 5

you can recharge one
