What are the disadvantages of voltaic cell?

In: Organic Chemistry [Edit categories]

Answer:

One of the side-effects of the voltaic cell reaction is corrosion (rusting). Due to the continued chemical reaction, the electron exchange in due course causes the metals to degrade. This is why the battery eventually goes dead rather than last forever
Voltaic cell has to be handled carefully and has to be kept vertically as it has acid and is not easy to take it from place to place.
