Yes, Zinc dendrites will form also if the battery is

Oh, so they form on both plates. Interesting. Charging the battery
plates out zinc metal on the negative plates, but any metallic silver on
the positive plates should be oxidized back to silver oxide. Silver
dendrites should form only during discharge, right?
