An electric battery is a device consisting of one or more electrochemical cells with external connections provided to power electrical devices such as flashlights, smartphones, and electric cars.

When a battery is supplying electric power, its positive terminal is the cathode and its negative terminal is the anode.

The terminal marked negative is the source of electrons that when connected to an external circuit will flow and deliver energy to an external device.

When a battery is connected to an external circuit, electrolytes are able to move as ions within, allowing the chemical reactions to be completed at the separate terminals and so deliver energy to the external circuit.

It is the movement of those ions within the battery which allows current to flow out of the battery to perform work.

Historically the term "battery" specifically referred to a device composed of multiple cells, however the usage has evolved to additionally include devices composed of a single cell.
