Its called a battery because it is a group of cells. In the case of a conventional lead-acid battery each cell produces about 2 volts. To obtain 12 volts, 6 of these cells must be combined, forming a battery. Sometimes the term battery is a misnomer. In the case of 1.5v alkaline "batteries" they are technically just one cell.

You must get a couple of so-called jumper cables. The cables have strong clamps on them and are designed to be clamped to the battery terminals.
