Utilizing rechargeable batteries enables you to become more sustainable, eco-friendly and energy efficient. As a well-known rechargeable battery supplier, our extensive range features batteries from leading brands including Duracell, Ansmann, Panasonic, Yuasa, RS PRO and more.
Disposable batteries (non-rechargeable/primary batteries) and batteries that are rechargeable (secondary cells) are incredibly similar, creating current in the exact same manner as each other: through an electrochemical reaction involving an electrolyte, anode and cathode. The difference when you’re considering buying either type of battery in the Philippines comes down to their usability, price, and overall performance lives.
Primary batteries have a single use, like those used in a remote control. The reaction that happens in the cell to release the energy is irreversible and will eventually stop occurring, meaning the battery will no longer produce an electrical current. The battery is said to be discharged or "dead" and needs to be thrown away.
However, in batteries that are rechargeable, the reaction can be reversed by providing electrical energy back to the battery via a battery charger. For example, when you charge your phone, there is an electrical current flowing from the charger into the battery to restore its internal charge. Using rechargeable batteries means you don't have to replace a battery every time it discharges. In fact, it can be used up to 500 times.
Selecting the appropriate rechargeable battery involves considering several key factors to ensure optimal performance and compatibility with your devices. This is especially important when you are planning to buy rechargeable batteries in bulk.
The following are some common battery sizes and devices that use them:
Rechargeable batteries, also known as secondary cells, operate on the principle of reversible chemical reactions. Unlike single-use batteries, they can be recharged multiple times, making them a sustainable and cost-effective power source.
When a rechargeable battery, like a lithium battery, is used to power a device, a chemical reaction occurs within the battery. This reaction involves the flow of electrons from the negative electrode (anode) to the positive electrode (cathode) through an external circuit, generating electricity.
During the recharging process, an external power source, such as a battery charger, applies voltage to the battery terminals. This forces the electrons to flow in the reverse direction, from the cathode back to the anode. This reversal of electron flow essentially reverses the chemical reaction that occurred during discharge, restoring the battery's charge.
Different types of rechargeable batteries utilize different chemical compositions, but the underlying principle of reversible reactions remains the same.
