An electrochemical cell is a device that can generate electrical energy from the chemical reactions occurring in it, or use the electrical energy supplied to it to facilitate chemical reactions in it.

Chemical potential energy is dependent on three main factors:

1. Mass of the object

2. Nature of the chemical-specific heat

3. Temperature

The UltraBattery®, developed by CSIRO Energy Technology in Australia under the leadership of Lan Lam, is a hybrid energy storage device which combines a supercapacitor and a lead-acid battery in a single unit cell, taking the best from both technologies without the need for extra expensive electronic controls.
