Yes, they will gradually discharge over time. If it is a rechargeable battery - such as a car battery - it can be recharged again, but the energy that was stored in it is lost.
The energy that is not being used is referred to as the potential energy.
Perhaps if you throw them. But batteries are normally used for their ability to store CHEMICAL energy.
Wind energy, or rather, electricity produced from wind energy, can be stored in batteries. It can also be used to pump water uphill. This water can then be used later when needed to generate electricity (hydro-electricity).
The electricity generated by wind can be used to charge batteries. Or, it can be directly added to the electricity grid.
Solar energy is most commonly stored in batteries, depending on when it is going to be used. However, if it's not stored, it is used, or released, right away into the power grid to be used as normal electricty.
Some of the energy used to recharge them will heat up the battery (waste heat), if that's what you mean.
Using water as an energy source makes it a form of renewable energy. Using waste as an energy source is also renewable as the waste is being recycled.
electronic waste like used batteries, old phones, and broken electronics
To get rid of used batteries contact your waste management company. They'll send over a special collection crew to dispose of batteries.
rechargable batteries
Batteries have energy because they use chemical reactions to store it within cells. The energy will slowly escape over time even when not used.
By using solar energy to charge the batteries
Batteries.
Waste to Energy Conversion is when you take waste (the combustible parts of household garbage, for example, that cannot be otherwise recycled) and burn it to run an electricity generator. Then you have used waste to make energy.
Yes, it can be used to charge batteries. The energy in the battery can be stored for later use.
It stores chemical, but is used as electrical.
