Answer:

Yes, the battery's store of chemical potential energy will have decreased. Work is done on the positive charge in moving that charge to the battery's positive terminal. Chemical potential energy is converted into electrostatic potential energy in pushing the positive charge up a voltage gradient. Hope this helps!
