Battery.. packs? The cells are the batteries.

It's like conflating gasoline with gasoline tanks.

A battery is a bunch of cells. Etymology is from an earlier meaning, artillery battery (a bunch of cannons together acting as a unit).

battery comes from the verb "to batter", which basically means "to bombard"
