Hello

Can you tell me please, to have a battery, do we need a source of a positive electric field and a negative? Or we need constant generation of electrons as well?

Can you outline for me the battery principles as I want to get involved in new battery development.

Thanks

I don't understand what you are saying here.

Can't you use Google? Anyway, the first thing you should try and understand is the electrochemical cell.
