        a device that derives energy from chemical reaction, such as in a battery        
          
      
          
      
      
    
  
      Car batteries are a good example of voltaic cells: there are electrodes which are submerged in a solution, and due to some chemical reaction which takes place in the solution, the energy is derived.
