storage batteries
Electricity holding devices
Storage batteries are rechargeable batteries—devices that convert chemical energy to electrical energy and can be restored to full charge by reversing the process.
The term emphasizes the battery's function as an energy reservoir: The solar panels charge the storage batteries during daylight hours.
Also called secondary batteries or accumulators.
