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.
When the initial supply of reactants is exhausted, energy cannot be readily restored to the battery by electrical means. Secondary batteries can be recharged; that is, they can have their chemical reactions reversed by supplying electrical energy to the cell, restoring their original composition. Secondary batteries are not indefinitely rechargeable due to ageing mechanisms.
