An example of conduct that hinders information sharing but would not be considered information blocking is a lack of coordination between persons or entities that participate in or facilitate the exchange of electronic health information.
Non-rechargeable batteries, or primary cells, and rechargeable batteries, or secondary cells, produce current exactly the same way: through an electrochemical reaction involving an anode, cathode and electrolyte. In a rechargeable battery, however, the reaction is reversible.
To equalize a battery, the charging voltage is raised (by a smart charger) to more than 15 volts for a short period. This higher voltage helps break up sulfation and causes gassing that mixes (equalizes) the electrolyte. The rate of battery self-discharge increases with temperature.
