Lots of things have an electrochemical cell in them. That electrochemical cell is a battery. You cell phone has at least two of them. There is a small one that "keeps alive" memory if you remove the primary battery. A flashlight has a cell or cells in it. We could go on all day. Motor vehicles have a battery, which is a collection of electrochemical cells. Note that a battery could be composed of a single cell, like the "AAA", "AA", "C" and "D" cells. We call them batteries, but they are a single electrochemical cell. A 9-volt battery, on the other hand, has several cells in it stacked in series so their voltages add. That car battery we mentioned is 6 electrochemical cells "long" so that the voltages will sum to the 12 volts (which is actually a bit over 13 volts).
