I’ve seen descirptions of batteries, and how they kinda push electrons through wires to the other side, but how does that actually work? What’s the mechanism that makes them actually move?

They don’t push eletrons through the wire. That’s a myth because it’s easier to explain
Electrons work by being accelerated, dumping their energy into protons, and then being accelerated again by the magnetic field that forms when a power source and load are in close enough distance
That’s also why if you have an electric toothbrush, you don’t need to have a wire physically connecting to it, or how wireless charging works in general, like with wireless charging with wifi
The battery just provides the energy for that to happen
