Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The formation of thin layers of material on the electrodes of a secondary cell (such as during the charging and discharging cycles of a rechargeable battery) can lead to reduced efficiency in the electrochemical reactions. This inefficiency can manifest as shorter periods of usefulness between recharging sessions, as the battery cannot hold as much charge or deliver power as effectively.
