List of battery types

{{Short description|None}} [[File:Duracell AA.jpg|thumb|right|upright=0.75|A Duracell AA size alkaline cell, one of the many types of battery]]

This is a summary of electric battery types composed of one or more electrochemical cells. There are two lists 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.
