Which of the following battery chemistries is not rechargeable?

Carbon-zinc batteries, often sold as standard or 'heavy-duty' AA, AAA, C, or D cells, are primary cells. This means they are designed to be used exactly once and then discarded, as their internal chemical reaction cannot be safely or effectively reversed. In contrast, Nickel-cadmium, Lead-acid, and Lithium-ion are all secondary cells. You can pass an electrical current backward through them to reverse the chemical reaction and recharge the battery for repeated use. Attempting to recharge a carbon-zinc battery is dangerous and can cause the cell to leak corrosive battery acid or even rupture.
