The common mistake almost everyone makes is confusing the "cell" for the "battery". I have heard people referring to the Flashlight as "battery" - making it the most misused word! The meaning of "battery" is: a set of similar units of equipment, typically when connected together; an extensive series, sequence, or range of things and so on. In military, for instance, a line of cannons is known as a battery of guns. Or - the doctor made a battery of tests to diagnose the ailment, a battery of lawyers, etc.
In dry cell battery the electrolyte is mixed with silica to hold it in a gel like consistency. In absorbed glass mat batteries the electrolyte is usually held by glass fibers and thus the electrolyte cannot leak or spill over. These are two types of dry cell batteries. In wet cell batteries the electrolyte is in liquid form, comprising a solution of dilute sulphuric acid. As electrolyte dries up it can be replenished in wet cell or flooded cell batteries but it is impossible in sealed gel batteries and difficult in AGM batteries with sealed bodies.
