The basic building block of a battery. It is an electrochemical device consisting of an anode and a cathode in a common electrolyte kept apart with a separator. This assembly may be used in its own container as a single cell battery or be combined and interconnected with other cells in a container to form a multicelled battery.
an electric cell that generates an emf by an irreversible conversion of chemical to electrical energy; cannot be recharged
an electric cell that generates an electromotive force by an irreversible conversion of chemical to electrical energy; cannot be recharged
