When one attempts to recharge a battery by reversing the direction of electric current flow, the opposite takes place: a reduction reaction proceeds at the negative electrode, and an oxidation reaction takes place at the positive electrode.
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.
Now, for a real battery, there's resistivity inside it due to many factors, thus the chemical reaction is irreversible. My question is, during the irreversible reaction, is the reaction happening in both ways but at different rate due to resistivity inside the battery or it is just like the combustion reaction happening in one way?
In a cell (or battery: multiple cells in series) that results in a flow of electrons from the Zn metal to the Cu electrode, resulting in a net positive EMF. But by reversing the current by applying the reverse voltage over the electrodes the reaction can also be made to run from right to left.
These batteries undergo electrochemical reactions that can be readily reversed. The chemical reactions that occur in secondary batteries are reversible because the components that react are not completely used up. Rechargeable batteries need an external electrical source to recharge them after they have expended their energy.
If the battery is disposable, it will produce electricity until it runs out of reactants (same chemical potential on both electrodes). These batteries only work in one direction, transforming chemical energy to electrical energy. But in other types of batteries, the reaction can be reversed.
