ATP stands for Adenosine Tri-Phosphate. This means there are three phosphate groups stuck together on the tail of the molecule. Packing that many negatively charged groups together takes energy which is stored in the structure. When the bond between the second and third phosphates is broken, energy is released and the molecule becomes ADP or Adenosine Di-Phosphate.
two phosphate groups
Adenosine triphosphate, abbreviated ATP. The molecule contains adenosine and three phosphate groups. When the cell needs energy, the bond between the second and third phosphate groups breaks, and the energy released is used by the cell to do work.

The energy that a cell can use to do work is the energy stored in the chemical bond between the second and third phosphate groups.
ATP (with 3 Phosphate Groups) would be the full charged battery. ADP (with 2 Phosphate Groups) would be the partially charged battery. To release energy, the bond between the 2nd and 3rd phosphate group is released. To store energy, a bond is made between the 2nd and 3rd phosphate group.

The high energy phosphate bond. This bond is broken by the enzyme ATPase.
The energy stored in ATP can be released by breaking the bond between the second and third phosphate groups. Therefore, the energy is released when a phosphate group is removed.
ATP has 3 phosphate groups and when the bond between the second and third phosphate groups is broken energy is released. Usually this breaking of the third bond happens when ATP reacts with water
