In this lesson on Rechargeable Batteries, which is part of Unit 3 Area of Study 2 for VCE Chemistry, you will learn about:
- the operation of rechargeable batteries (secondary cells) with reference to discharging as a galvanic cell and recharging as an electrolytic cell, including the redox principles (redox reactions and polarity of electrodes) and the factors affecting battery life with reference to components and temperature (no specific battery is required).
