Which Side of a Battery is Positive? A cell or battery is drawn with a long line and a shorter line. The long line is the positive side (plus is longer). The short line is the negative side (minus is shorter).
In a discharging battery (Galvanic cell), the anode is the negative terminal, and cathode is positive. In a recharging battery (Electrolytic cell), the opposite happens, anode is positive and cathode is negative. Here, the mnemonic PRANC (rhymes with prank) can be used, P- Positive.
