Batterie

Batterie is a term with multiple meanings depending on language and context. In energy storage and electronics, eine Batterie refers to an assembly of electrochemical cells that stores chemical energy and releases electricity. In music, especially in German-speaking regions, Batterie denotes the drum kit or the percussion section of an orchestra.

For electrical storage, a battery consists of one or more cells connected to provide the desired voltage

History and development trace the concept from Volta’s pile in 1800 to modern designs. Lead–acid batteries were

Applications span consumer electronics, electric vehicles, grid storage, and backup power. Performance is governed by chemistry,

Notes: In German and some other languages, Batterie can also mean a drum kit, which is unrelated
