Batteries are commonly used as a power source for various devices, including portable electronics like smartphones and laptops, electric vehicles, and energy storage systems for renewable energy sources. They are classified into primary batteries, which are non-rechargeable and designed for single-use, and secondary batteries, which are rechargeable and can be reused multiple times.
