 Batteries are an amazing technology.  Each battery is a little chemical reactor:  when power is needed, the chemical reaction proceeds, and electricity is generated.   When the chemical reaction ends, the battery is dead.  Of all the kinds of batteries, lithium-ion batteries have the greatest energy per unit weight, which is why they are used in such things as laptop computers.
