why does a positive terminal of battery has higher potential?

The "positive" is actually deficit of electrons. And the "negative" is excess if electrons. And the convention stuck!
Higher potential loosely corresponds to higher charge. The "high potential" is actually sort of incomplete. "Higher" (no puns) is the correct notation this end has lesser electrons (hence positive) than the other, which has more electrons. So, that just then its a matter of convention which we follow till today in respect of the first people who contributed to this subject.

yeah iam using
nice
but i also known the answer of this question but not sure about it
appreciated
because of you my doubt cleared

Explanation:
We know that formula of electric potential is kq/r.So in case of positive charge q is positive so electric potential is high than negative charges. Am I right?.And also in case of battery,positive terminal has high potential than negative terminal,Or part of conductor connected with positive terminal of battery has high potential and part of conductor connected with negative terminal has low potential.WHY
