    Is it, though? Accumulators are rechargeable by definition. Disposable batteries are, well, disposable.

      I don’t know that accumulators have to be rechargeable, just an object that collects (even if only at its initial charge) and stores energy.

      It’s just not a term I hear often, and I thought it was interesting. I like also hearing about how other countries use the term, it’s enlightening. I didn’t realize that it is the primary term to refer to a battery in several countries.
