Yah Right,
Now I have it all streight, or do I ? I wouldn't wnat to ask you the time
Marshall, you may tell me how to build a watch.
For what us (most) listers do to make CS,,,Is the Anode Positive ? I can
figure out the cathode if you tell me who is the doner. Then I can move on.

Unfortunately this is ambiguous. They don't specify conventional current, or
real current. They are opposite directions from each other.

Then he is defining current as the conventional, or opposite of the electron
current. In that case the the ecurrent flows into the positive electrode of
the
CS cell so it is the anode, and the negative electrode is the cathode.
I did not realize the definitions switched on a battery depending on if it
is
charging or discharging. Learn something new every day.
