Hey there! The difference between wet cell and dry cell batteries is the makeup of the electrolyte. The electrolyte is the material that conducts electricity in the battery. Wet cells have liquid electrolytes, while dry cells have solid electrolytes, usually in the form of a paste or powder. Wet cells were invented before dry cells, and they’re still used in some applications today. Car batteries are a type of wet cell battery. Dry cell batteries are more common. The batteries that run your TV remote control, for example, are dry cell batteries.
