What is a "battery"?

A battery is a device that stores energy and provides power to machines, devices, or vehicles. It works by converting stored chemical energy into electrical energy, which can be used to run various equipment. Batteries come in different sizes and power levels depending on their use, from small ones in electronic devices to large ones in cars. They are essential for powering things like phones, flashlights, and cars. Over time, batteries lose their ability to hold charge and need to be replaced or recharged.
