Battery

A battery is like a small power plant that provides electricity for devices.

When connected to a device, the battery releases this energy, powering it.

and make it easier to connect wires.

It has two parts: a positive and a negative terminal, which match the
terminals on the battery.
When you put the battery into the cap, the terminals touch the Battery Cap
battery’s terminals, allowing electricity to flow.
