In electrochemistry the Nernst equation says Gibbs=-nFE and the reversible heat=TdS= T*partialE partialT * -nF but the Bernardi heat equation is q= I(Voc-V+TpartialE partialT) when we know that the heat of reaction/ enthalpy = dG+TdS,= IVoc+ ITpartialE partialT. Why is Bernardi heat equation using reversible heat not enthalpy?

because the enthalpy is the heat of reaction only at constant temperature and pressure in the absence of non-pv work and in a closed system. In the case of a battery we are definitely not in the absence of non-pv work
