How Can a Single Battery Power a Whole City?

Imagine a matchbox that can light up an entire city, just like how a flashlight can light up your room. That’s what a special kind of battery can do! These batteries are super strong and smart, working with other parts in the city, like lights, buildings, and even your phone, to share power. When one part needs more energy, the battery sends it there, just like how you might share snacks with a friend.
