Batteries can be classified according to their chemistry or specific electrochemical composition, which heavily dictates the reactions that will occur within the cells to convert chemical to electrical energy. Battery chemistry tells the electrode and electrolyte materials to be used for the battery construction.
Depending on their rechargeability, the cells are of two types, primary and secondary batteries. And in the case of form, the types are coin, cylindrical, prismatic, and pouch battery. There are some major categories of battery types depending on many factors. However, these major types can also be classified under other factors.
Considering the above, it appears timely to propose a simple and uniform classification system encompassing all battery types. Conceptually, every battery is simply made of three layers: positive electrode layer, electrolyte layer, negative electrode layer.
Primary batteries come in three major chemistries: (1) zinc–carbon and (2) alkaline zinc–manganese, and (3) lithium (or lithium-metal) battery. Zinc–carbon batteries is among the earliest commercially available primary cells. It is composed of a solid, high-purity zinc anode (99.99%).
Battery chemistry tells the electrode and electrolyte materials to be used for the battery construction. It influences the electrochemical performance, energy density, operating life, and applicability of the battery for different applications. Primary batteries are “dry cells”.
Secondary battery chemistries, distinct from primary batteries, are rechargeable systems where the electrochemical reactions are reversible. Unlike primary batteries that are typically single-use, secondary batteries, such as lithium-ion and nickel-metal hydride, allow for repeated charging and discharging cycles.

Classification of Batteries, History of Lithium-Ion Batteries
The two mainstream classes of batteries are disposable/non-rechargeable (primary) and rechargeable (secondary) batteries. A primary battery is designed to be used once and then discarded, and not recharged with electricity. In general, primary batteries are assembled in a charged condition and the electrochemical reaction occurring in the cell ...

Introduction to Battery Classification
Here we are going to examine the batteries from all sides—longevity, energy density, load characteristics, self-discharge, maintenance rules and operational costs. 1. Lithium batteries can be roughly classified into two types: Lithium metal batteries and Lithium-ion batteries, while the latter one doesn''t contain metallic lithium and is chargeable.

Classification of Cells or Batteries
Electrochemical batteries are classified into 4 broad categories. A primary cell or battery is one that cannot easily be recharged after one use, and are discarded following discharge. Most primary cells utilize electrolytes that are contained within absorbent material or a separator (i.e. no free or liquid electrolyte), and are thus termed dry ...

9.5: Battery Types
The development of the battery dates to the work of Volta around 1795 [3, p. 2], and practical lead acid batteries were first developed around 1860 by Raymond Gaston Planté [128, p. 16.1.1]. Today, lead acid batteries are used to start the ignition system in cars and trucks, used as stationary backup power systems, and used in other applications requiring large capacity and …
