rechargeable battery
"A battery in which the chemical reaction system providing the electrical current is easily ""chemically"" reversible. After discharging, it can be recharged by applying an electrical current to its terminals. Some batteries can be recharged hundreds to thousands times. See, e.g. the lead-acid battery. Also called ""secondary"" battery, and ""accumulator."" Contrast with non-rechargeable battery. "

Rechargeable battery
A rechargeable battery, also known as a storage battery, is a group of two or more secondary cells. These batteries can be restored to full charge by the application of electrical energy. In other words, they are electrochemical cells in which the electrochemical reaction that releases energy is readily reversible. Rechargeable electrochemical cells are therefore a type of accumulator. They come in many different designs using different chemicals. Commonly used secondary cell chemistries are lead and sulfuric acid, nickel cadmium (NiCd), nickel metal hydride (NiMH), lithium ion (Li-ion), and lithium ion polymer (Li-ion polymer).
