KembaraXtra-Computer Terms – battery:


A battery is a device consisting of two or more electrochemical cells contained within a unit that generates electrical energy through chemical reactions. When the electrodes within the battery interact with an electrolyte, an electrical current is produced that can power electronic devices.


In personal computers, batteries serve several purposes. They are used as the primary power source in portable computers such as laptops and notebooks, often using rechargeable technologies like lithium-ion or nickel-metal hydride. Batteries are also used in desktop computers to maintain power to certain components, such as the internal clock and the portion of memory that stores system configuration information, even when the computer is turned off.
