If the battery is disposable, it will produce electricity until it runs out of reactants (same chemical potential on both electrodes). These batteries only work in one direction, transforming chemical energy to electrical energy. But in other types of batteries, the reaction can be reversed.
Disposable lithium batteries are contrasted with lithium-ion and lithium-polymer, which are rechargeable batteries, where ions move between the anode and the cathode, using an intercalated lithium compound as the cathode material and without using lithium metal as the anode material.
