Question:

Is the fuel cell the original battery?

Is the fuel cell the original battery?

Answer:

The electrode reaction occurring at the anode and cathode of the fuel cell can be seen as an original cell reaction, from which the fuel cell can be classified as an original cell.
A fuel cell is a device that converts chemical energy directly into electrical energy, and is more like a power plant, with the primary purpose of continuing to supply electricity, rather than energy storage.
In the narrow sense of the "original battery" definition, if the "original battery" relative to the "rechargeable battery" is concerned, the fuel cell does not belong to the original battery category.
Batteries and fuel cells are not at the same level of classification.
