~ Primary cells are not rechargable, because some of the products of the electrochemical rxns are no longer available in the system (i.e. H2). The reverse rxn cannot occur upon charging.

Cell equation:

Zn(s) + 2NH4+(aq) + 2MnO2(s) Zn2+(aq) + 2NH3(aq) + Mn2O3(s) + H2O(l)

Lead-Acid Accumulator is RECHARGABLE, because …~ All the products of the electrochemical rxns remain in the system.

The reverse rxn can occur upon charging.

i.e. PbO2(s) and Pb(s) are regenerated.
