battery packs

Rechargeable energy stores

Battery packs are portable power units containing multiple cells, used to supply electricity to devices.

They range from small rechargeable packs for electronics to large units powering electric vehicles.

The term often implies something removable or swappable: I always carry spare battery packs for my camera.

In casual use, battery pack and battery are often interchangeable.
