Twin: Electrolytic Cell as the Forced-Reverse Galvanic Cell
This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.
State
An electrolytic cell runs the same redox chemistry as a galvanic cell but forced nonspontaneous by external power, not generated from an already-favored reaction.
Show
Recharging a secondary battery is electrolysis: the cell that discharged spontaneously as galvanic is driven backward by a charger.
Watch for
Assuming galvanic and electrolytic cells use different chemistry misses that one rechargeable cell is literally both in turn.
