Batteries use chemistry, in the form of chemical potential, to store energy, just like many other everyday energy sources. For example, logs and oxygen both store energy in their chemical bonds until burning converts some of that chemical energy to heat.
The two main types of batteries that are commonly used are single-use and rechargeable. The single-use batteries, sometimes referred to as primary types, are commonly alkaline close alkaline Has a ...
