Physics:List of battery types

Short description: None

A Duracell AA size alkaline cell, one of the many types of battery.

This list is a summary of notable electric battery types composed of one or more electrochemical cells. Three lists are provided in the table. The primary (non-rechargeable) and secondary (rechargeable) cell lists are lists of battery chemistry. The third list is a list of battery applications.
