Electrochemical batteries, more commonly referred to as “batteries,” are
electrochemical devices that convert electrical energy into potential chemical energy during charging, and convert chemical energy into electric energy during discharging. A “battery” is composed of several cells stacked together. A cell is an independent and complete unit that possesses all the electrochemical properties. Basically, a battery cell consists of three primary elements: two electrodes (positive and negative) immersed into an electrolyte
