An electric battery consists of one or more electrochemical cells that provide electric power to devices through a redox reaction. There are two main types of batteries: primary (single-use) and secondary (rechargeable), with various applications ranging from small devices to large battery banks. While batteries have lower specific energy compared to fuels, their efficiency in converting electrical energy to mechanical work makes them suitable for electric vehicles.

An electric battery is a wellspring of electric power comprising of at least one electrochemical

cells with outside connections[1] for fueling electrical gadgets.

At the point when a battery is providing power, its positive terminal is the cathode and its
adverse terminal is the anode.[2] The terminal stamped negative is the wellspring of electrons
that will course through an outer electric circuit to the positive terminal. At the point when a
battery is associated with an outside electric burden, a redox response changes high-energy
reactants over completely to bring down energy items, and the free-energy contrast is
conveyed to the outer circuit as electrical energy. Generally the expression "battery" explicitly
alluded to a gadget made out of various cells; notwithstanding, the use has developed to
incorporate gadgets made out of a solitary cell.[3]

Essential (single-use or "expendable") batteries are utilized once and disposed of, as the
terminal materials are irreversibly different during release; a typical model is the soluble battery
utilized for spotlights and a large number of convenient electronic gadgets. Optional (battery-
powered) batteries can be released and re-energized on different occasions utilizing an applied
electric flow; the first structure of the terminals can be reestablished by invert flow. Models
incorporate the lead-corrosive batteries utilized in vehicles and lithium-particle batteries
utilized for versatile hardware like workstations and cell phones.

Batteries come in many shapes and sizes, from small cells used to control portable hearing
assistants and wristwatches to, at the biggest limit, tremendous battery banks the size of rooms
that give backup or crisis ability to phone trades and PC server farms.

Batteries have a lot of lower explicit energy (energy per unit mass) than normal energizes like
fuel. In vehicles, this is to some degree offset by the higher proficiency of electric engines in
switching electrical energy over completely to mechanical work, contrasted with ignition
motors.
