There are generally two types of electrochemical cells, though three terms to describe them. Primary (non-rechargeable) and Secondary (rechargeable) batteries consist of a number of electrochemical cells.

A galvanic cell also called a voltaic cell, is an electrochemical cell in which an electric current is generated from an Oxidation-Reduction reaction. The cell normally consists of two different metals (electrodes), immersed in separate containers that hold a postively/negatively charged solution. A salt bridge or porous membrane between the containers transfers chargee. Energy is derived from a high-cohesive-energy metal dissolving while to a lower-energy metal is deposited, and/or from high-energy metal ions plating out while lower-energy ions go into solution. A primary or non-rechargeable battery is a galvanic cell, a secondary or rechargeable battery acts as a galvanic cell when it is discharging, as it is converting chemical energy to electrical energy. A secondary or rechargeable battery acts as an electrolytic cell when being charged as in this case it is converting electrical energy to chemical energy.

An electrolytic cell, is one where current is passed through by an external voltage, causing a chemical reaction. An electrolytic cell has three parts: a cathode, an anode (electrodes) and an electrolyte. As above electrolyte is usually a solution of water or another solvent, such as sodium chloride with dissolved ions. When an external voltage is applied to the electrodes, the ions in the electrolyte are attracted to an electrode with the opposite charge, the charge-transferring casues the chemical reaction, faradaic or redox. In the galvanic cell the chemical reaction causes electric current to flow.

An equilibrium electrochemical cell is a cell that sits in a state that is directly between the two above cell states, so nether storing chemcal enrgy nor releasing electrical energy.
