Best Answer

Batteries are generally set up to convert the energy derived from a chemical reaction into voltage that can be used to drive current. As the chemical reaction continues, the chemicals that were originally included in the battery undergo changes that exhaust them, and once a reactant is used up, the battery can no longer deliver any power. It's dead.
