Duracell batteries are an example of an electrochemical cell that is powered between the reaction of Magnesium and Zinc, occurring in basic conditions (alkaline battery). This type of reaction has a precise output of 1.5 volts, and looks like this:

Zn + 2MnO2 ➡️ ZnO + Mn2O3

It’s not rechargeable.


Golf Cart Batteries are an example of an electrochemical cell that is powered by the reaction between Lead and Sulfuric Acid (Lead-Acid battery). This type of reaction occurs on larger scales than an alkaline battery, and thus can generate a variety of powers depending on how many instruments are present within the battery. The reaction looks like this:

PbO2 + Pb + 2H2SO4 ➡️ 2PbSO4 + H2O

This is a rechargeable cell, but is rather prone to discharging by the environment and surroundings of the battery.
