Batteries work by letting charged ions flow through an electrolyte solution.

Batteries can contain strong acids or strong bases. Which of the following explanations best explains why?

Batteries work by letting charged ions flow through an electrolyte solution.

A battery is a device that consists of one or more electrochemical cells that can convert stored chemical energy into electrical current. Each cell consists of a positive electrode, or anode, a negative electrode, or cathode, and electrolytes that allow ions to move between the electrodes, allowing current to flow out of the battery to carry out its function.

Explanation:

Its operation is essentially based on a reversible chemical process called reduction-oxidation, in which one of the components is oxidized and the other is reduced; that is, a process whose components are neither consumed nor lost, but merely change their oxidation state, and which in turn can return to their original state under the right circumstances.
