An exit sign is a device in a public facility (such as a building, aircraft or boat) denoting the location of the closest emergency exit in case of fire or other emergency. Most relevant codes (fire, building, health or safety) require exit signs to be permanently lit.

Exit signs are used to show people the fastest way to get out of a building. These can be essential during an emergency and are mandated to light up so that they can be seen even in a power outage.
Exit signs in public, commercial and industrial locations must have a back-up means of remaining illuminated should the power fail. Most signs meet this requirement with a back-up power supply, such as a battery. . There are special exit signs that use phosphorescence (photoluminescent) material (glow in the dark) that remains illuminated for a short time after a power failure. Also, some occupancies are not required to have "emergency lighting", perhaps because they are small enough to safely evacuate without lights, and exit signs in such an occupancy are not required to have any backup power at all. . So, technically, no, not all exit signs are required to have a battery backup. You might want to consult NFPA 101 "Life safety Code" at the library for all the details on exit sign lighting, as well as exit illumination. NFPA 101: 7.10.4, for example, any required emergency lighting must to last for at least 90 minutes, and it must illuminate the exit signs that are not photoluminescent, but not every occupancy requires emergency lighting, let alone backup, or lighted exit signs.
An emergence exit is called an emergency exit.
An "emergency exit" is a door or passageway to a place that should be safer than where you are. It is "emergency" exit because it would not normally be open for use (going in or out), but must be able to open during an emergency. All emergency exits are required to be marked with an illuminated "EXIT" sign. Your local fire code will determine how many there must be, whether they are required to have "panic hardware" to unlock them (i.e., by a blinded child with no hands), among other things. In countries other than the USA, you may see "Way Out" signs, rather than EXIT, or a pictogram showing a person going through a door or up/down stairs.
