English translation:battery
Explanation:
Ale tylko w mowie potocznej. Bo określenie bateria wzięło się z 'bateria ogniw elektrycznych'. Jeśli zaś chcemy być precyzyjni, to baterię nazwiemy 'battery', a akumulator 'accumulator' (UK) lub 'storage battery' (US)

bateria = (chem. fiz. rad.) «zespół urządzeń będących źródłem energii, połączonych w jeden układ w celu zwiększenia mocy, wydajności itp.»
[Słownik Języka Polskiego]

battery = (Elec.) a) a connected group of cells storing an electrical charge and capable of furnishing a current b) a single cell of this type
[Webster's]

accumulator = a) an apparatus that collects and stores energy b) [Brit.] storage battery
[Webster's]

storage battery = a battery of electrochemical cells (secondary cells) for generating electric current: the cells can be recharged by passing a current through them in the direction opposite to the discharging flow of current
[Webster's]
