Battery (Cell Phone)

A chargeable device used to provide phones with power. Nickel Metal Hydride batteries (NiMH) provide very high capacity at a low weight, and are also faster to charge.

Battery (Chess)

Doubling Rooks on a file or a Queen and a Bishop on a diagonal.

Battery (Education, Gifted Education)

Multiple tests to assess functioning in a variety of psychological areas such as intelligence, achievement, personality, and self-esteem.

Battery (Energy)

A device that stores energy and produces electric current by chemical action.

Battery (Gasoline)

Facility that stores and/or processes crude oil.

Battery (Law)

Battery (Pyrotechnics)

Any group of fireworks fused together as one unit so that they will ignite all at once or in a short period of time, such as a missile battery or a roman candle battery.

Battery (Robotics)

A device that converts chemical energy to electrical energy. Batteries provide electricity to things such as flashlights and radios.

Battery (Solar Energy)

Two or more electrochemical cells enclosed in a container and electrically interconnected in an appropriate series/parallel arrangement to provide the required operating voltage and current levels. Under common usage, the term battery also applies to a single cell if it constitutes the entire electrochemical storage system.

Battery (Technology)

Two or more cells in a container that produces an electrical current when two electrodes within the container touch an electrolyte. In personal computers, batteries are used as an auxiliary source of power when the main power is shut off, as a power source for laptop and notebook computers (rechargeable batteries, such as nickel cadmium, nickel metal hydride, and lithium ion, are used), and as a method to keep the internal clock and the circuitry responsible for the part of RAM that stores important system information always powered up. See also lead ion battery, lithium ion battery, nickel cadmium battery, nickel metal hydride battery, RAM.

Battery (Vietnam War)

An artillery unit equivalent to a company. Six 105mm or 155mm howitzers or two 8-inch or 175mm self-propelled howitzers.

Battery (Watch)

Device that converts chemical energy into electricity. Most watch batteries are silver oxide type delivering 1.5 volts. Much longer-lasting lithium batteries are 3 volt.

Battery (Watches)
