The original poster has a serious misconception by equating a reversible chemical reaction with a reaction that is in equilibrium. The electrochemical reaction that allows the battery to deliver energy to the load (such as the copper/zinc reaction mentioned) is always reversible in theory by reversing the current flow. However in addition to

Customer ServiceThis discovery was followed by developments of the Grove cell by William Robert Grove in 1844; the first rechargeable battery, made of a lead-acid cell in 1859 by Gaston Plante; the gravity cell by Callaud in the 1860s; and the Leclanche cell
Customer ServiceSome electrochemical cells are rechargeable – the electrode reactions are reversible and the process can be repeated many times. Such cells can be used to store electricity. The most common type of heavy duty rechargeable cell is the familiar lead-acid accumulator (''car battery'') found in most combustion-engined vehicles.
Customer ServiceBecause galvanic cells can be self-contained and portable, they can be used as batteries and fuel cells. A battery (storage cell) is a galvanic cell (or a series of galvanic cells) that contains all the reactants needed to produce electricity. In contrast, a fuel cell is a galvanic cell that requires a constant external supply of one or more reactants to generate electricity.
