Talk:Battery

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Is the term battering ram derrived from the root word for all these bat words? --SuperDude 04:03, 5 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] What is a battery?

A battery is a source of power called "on the go power."A battery is a source of electricity. Meaning you can bring it along with you and use it in flashlights, radios, and more. There are different size and kinds of batteries. Batteries are cool! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jlg23hershy (talkcontribs) 01:47, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Moving articles

I think that Battery should have the content in Battery (electricity) with a link at the top of the article to this disambiguation page. It is by far the most common usage. Also, there needs to be a disambiguation page, but some of the terms listed don't need disambiguation from "battery". The Metallica song and the band don't have articles, and Battery Park and battery farming don't have the same name as "battery". The two slang entries aren't as unnecessary, but most common things have a slang meaning, so I wouldn't make a disambiguation for them alone unless they were separate articles. -- Kjkolb 08:50, 19 December 2005 (UTC)

I agree with all but the last sentence. even though most thisngs have a slang meaning we should still link to it. Ozone 00:12, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
I utterly disagree with such a move - the meaning of battery as a crime and a tort of violence has long preceded the current meaning, and is the predominant meaning to a large portion of the population (ask any attorney or police office). BD2412 T 00:42, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Two bands of same name

Well, there exists an american EBM band called 'battery' as well as the hardcore band.
