Battery \Bat"ter*y\, n.; pl. {Batteries}. [F. batterie, fr.       battre. See {Batter}, v. t.]       1. The act of battering or beating.          2. (Law) The unlawful beating of another. It includes every             willful, angry and violent, or negligent touching of             another's person or clothes, or anything attached to his             person or held by him.          3. (Mil.)             (a) Any place where cannon or mortars are mounted, for                   attack or defense.             (b) Two or more pieces of artillery in the field.             (c) A company or division of artillery, including the                   gunners, guns, horses, and all equipments. In the                   United States, a battery of flying artillery consists                   usually of six guns.          {Barbette battery}. See {Barbette}.          {Battery d'enfilade}, or {Enfilading battery}, one that             sweeps the whole length of a line of troops or part of a             work.          {Battery en [82]charpe}, one that plays obliquely.          {Battery gun}, a gun capable of firing a number, of shots             simultaneously or successively without stopping to load.                      {Battery wagon}, a wagon employed to transport the tools and             materials for repair of the carriages, etc., of the             battery.          {In battery}, projecting, as a gun, into an embrasure or over             a parapet in readiness for firing.          {Masked battery}, a battery artificially concealed until             required to open upon the enemy.          {Out of battery}, or {From battery}, withdrawn, as a gun, to             a position for loading.          4. (Elec.)             (a) A number of coated jars (Leyden jars) so connected                   that they may be charged and discharged                   simultaneously.             (b) An apparatus for generating voltaic electricity.          Note: In the trough battery, copper and zinc plates,                connected in pairs, divide the trough into cells, which                are filled with an acid or oxidizing liquid; the effect                is exhibited when wires connected with the two                end-plates are brought together. In Daniell's battery,                the metals are zinc and copper, the former in dilute                sulphuric acid, or a solution of sulphate of zinc, the                latter in a saturated solution of sulphate of copper. A                modification of this is the common gravity battery, so                called from the automatic action of the two fluids,                which are separated by their specific gravities. In                Grove's battery, platinum is the metal used with zinc;                two fluids are used, one of them in a porous cell                surrounded by the other. In Bunsen's or the carbon                battery, the carbon of gas coke is substituted for the                platinum of Grove's. In Leclanch[82]'s battery, the                elements are zinc in a solution of ammonium chloride,                and gas carbon surrounded with manganese dioxide in a                porous cell. A secondary battery is a battery which                usually has the two plates of the same kind, generally                of lead, in dilute sulphuric acid, and which, when                traversed by an electric current, becomes charged, and                is then capable of giving a current of itself for a                time, owing to chemical changes produced by the                charging current. A storage battery is a kind of                secondary battery used for accumulating and storing the                energy of electrical charges or currents, usually by                means of chemical work done by them; an accumulator.          5. A number of similar machines or devices in position; an             apparatus consisting of a set of similar parts; as, a             battery of boilers, of retorts, condensers, etc.          6. (Metallurgy) A series of stamps operated by one motive             power, for crushing ores containing the precious metals.             --Knight.          7. The box in which the stamps for crushing ore play up and             down.          8. (Baseball) The pitcher and catcher together.
