In mercury cell, the cell potential is approximately V and remains constant during its life.

During recharging, the cell is operated like an electrolytic cell, i.e., now electrical energy is supplied to it from an external source. The electrode is the reverse of those that occur during discharge:
At cathode: PbSO4(s) + 2e- → Pb(s) + SO42-(aq)                                (Reduction)
At anode: PbSO4(s) + 2H2O → PbO2(s) + SO42-(aq) + 4H+(aq) + 2e-      (Oxidation)
__________________________________________________________________________
 
Overall reaction: 2PbSO4(s) + 2H2O → Pb(s) + PbO2(s) + 4H+(aq) + 2SO42-(aq) 

Zinc is more reactive than iron, it loses electron more readily as compared to iron. In galvanized iron object, zinc acts as anode and does not allow the iron to lose  electrons

In both galvanic and electrolytic cells, oxidation takes place at the anode and electrons flow from the anode to the cathode. and reduction takes place at cathode.

For the cell reaction

the change in free energy at a given temperature is a function of
