Description:

battery, noun (/ˈbadərē/)
- a container consisting of one or more cells, in which chemical energy is converted into electricity and used as a source of power.
- a fortified emplacement for heavy guns.
- a set of units of equipment, typically when connected together.
- (baseball) the pitcher and the catcher in a game, considered as a unit; they may also be called batterymen, or batterymates in relation to one another.

The use of the word 'battery' in baseball was first coined by Henry Chadwick in the 1860s in reference to the firepower of a team's pitching staff and inspired by the artillery batteries. Later, the term evolved to indicate the combined effectiveness of pitcher and catcher. Throughout the history of baseball, although teams have typically carried multiple catchers, star pitchers have often preferred the familiarity of working consistently with a single batterymate.
