Tips

memory

蓄 means 'to store / accumulate', 电 'electricity', 池 'pool/tank' — literally 'electricity-storage tank'. So 蓄电池 = rechargeable battery (one you can refill), as opposed to a disposable 电池 like a household AA. Compare 充电池 (also 'rechargeable battery', emphasizing the 充 'charge') — interchangeable in everyday speech.
