A galvanic cell is an electrochemical cell that stores chemical energy and makes it available in an electrical form, and a battery is a string of two or more cells in series. Other types of electrochemical cell include electrolytic cells, fuel cells, flow cells, or voltaic cells.[1]

Though an early form of battery may have been used in antiquity (the Baghdad Battery), the development of modern batteries started with the Voltaic pile, invented by the Italian physicist Alessandro Volta in 1800.[2] According to a 2005 estimate, the worldwide battery industry generates US$48 billion in sales annually.[3]

Formally, an electrical "battery" is a series-connected array of similar voltaic cells ("cells"). However, in many contexts it is common to call a single cell a battery.[4]

A battery is a device that converts chemical energy directly to electrical energy.[12] It consists of one or more voltaic cells. Each voltaic cell consists of two half cells connected in series by a conductive electrolyte. Each cell has a positive electrode (cathode), and a negative electrode (anode). These do not touch each other but are immersed in a solid or liquid electrolyte.[13] In a practical cell the materials are enclosed in a container, and a separator between the electrodes prevents the electrodes from coming into contact.

Each half cell has a net electromotive force (or emf), with the net emf of the battery being the difference between the emfs of the half-cells, a fact first recognized by Volta. Each half cell emf is due to a charge-transferring (or faradaic) chemical reaction at the electrode-electrolyte interface, which transfers charge across the interface. The reaction stops when the charge transfer is enough to cancel out the tendency to the reaction to occur. Non-charge-transferring, or nonfaradaic, reactions (also called parasitic or "side-reactions") can also occur at the interface. These are undesirable, using up the chemicals without producing current (which is the rate of charge transfer).

The electrical potential difference across the terminals of a battery is known as its terminal voltage, measured in volts. The terminal voltage of a battery that is neither charging nor discharging is called the open-circuit voltage, and gives the emf of the battery. The terminal voltage of a battery that is discharging is smaller in magnitude than the open-circuit voltage, and the terminal voltage of a battery being charged is greater than the open-circuit voltage. [14]

The voltage developed across a cell's terminals depends on the chemicals used in it and their concentrations. For example, alkaline and carbon-zinc cells both measure about 1.5 volts, due to the energy release of the associated chemical reactions. Because of the high electrochemical potential changes in the reactions of lithium compounds, lithium cells can provide as much as 3 volts or more.
