Now, even though the idea of a battery-powered vehicle was to revolutionize people's lives for the better, primary cell batteries (that's the " use once and toss" kind) weren't the way to go for obvious reasons.

现在，虽然电动汽车的想法是为了让人们的生活变得更好，但显而易见，原电（即用即弃的那种）并不实用。

Here's another example of a galvanic cell, one where the interesting part is the flow of whole ions instead of the flow of electrons.

这是原电的另一个，中有趣的部分是整个离的流动而不是电的流动。

We also explored the difference between primary batteries, the use-it-and-replace-it kind, and secondary batteries, the rechargeable kind you find in phones and laptops.

我们还探讨了原电（用完即弃型）和二次电（如手机和笔记本电脑中的可充电电）之间的区别。

Alkaline batteries are a type of galvanic cell.

碱性电是原电的一种。

To see how reduction potentials work in half reactions and combine in an overall reaction, let's consider a galvanic cell where zinc is oxidized and copper ions are reduced.

为了了解还原电位如何在半反应中起作用并在整个反应中结，让我们考虑一个原电， 中锌被氧化而铜离被还原。

This is essentially the opposite of a galvanic cell, known as an electrolytic cell, and it performs electrolysis, which uses electricity, electro-, to do the breaking apart, -lysis.

这基本上与称为电解的原电相反，它进行电解， 使用电、电来进行分解、分解。
