A battery is made up of three parts. The Cathode (positive end +) , the Anode (negative end -) and the electrolyte. The electrolyte allows electrical charges to travel between the cathode and anode. This chemical reactions creates the flow of electricity supplying the electrical voltage potential to power a circuit.

Typical materials of a battery are as follows
- Anode most often is made of zinc
- Manganese dioxide acting as Cathode.
- the electrolyte between and inside contains ions
