You might picture electricity like a flow of water in between two water storage.

High voltage -> Lot of difference in height in between the two storage
Hight current -> The flow travel in a bigger tube
High energy -> Combination of the two previous ones
High Energy stock ? -> Big water storage.

So when it comes to electricity it’s all about storing electrons on a side, and a place with a lot of cozy-electron comfortable space. How you create this spaces is chemical (for battery).

Then you stuck the place together, give them an entry/exit point and you get an electron path. Harvest that electron’s path (like you can harvest the energy of water to make turn things) and you got your electricity.

Rechargeable things, have a chemistry that allows to remove the electron in their cozy space and put some new motivated ones in the electron’s tank.

Sadly, they are not really clean at all time. With time they tend to break a few chairs around, spill beer on the floor, etc … which make the place less entertaining and the ‘motivation’ to come here goes down. That’s how we get battery that don’t last forever.
