battery
Stored electrical energy
Battery connects ideas of beating and energy storage.
Originally meaning a group of artillery pieces, it extends to any assembled set: a battery of tests, a battery of lawyers.
The legal sense—unlawful physical contact—retains the striking origin: assault and battery.
Most commonly now, a battery is a device storing electrical energy: My phone battery is dead.
In baseball, the battery is the pitcher and catcher together.
