How a battery works

The higher the power, the quicker the rate at which a battery can do work—this relationship shows how voltage and current are both important for working out what a battery is suitable for. Capacity = the power of the battery as a function of time, which is used to describe the length of time a battery will be able to power a device for.

Understanding Battery Basics: Chemistry, Voltage, Capacity

Chemistry refers to the type of materials used, voltage indicates the electrical potential difference, and specific energy represents the battery''s energy storage capacity. Additionally, starter batteries provide cold cranking amps (CCA), which relates to their ability to deliver high current in cold temperatures.

Energy Storage

Energy storage systems allow energy consumption to be separated in time from the production of energy, whether it be electrical or thermal energy. The storing of electricity typically occurs in chemical (e.g., lead acid batteries or lithium-ion batteries, to name just two of the best known) or mechanical means (e.g., pumped hydro storage).
