Batteries are storing charge or free electrons. The state is by nature a fixed voltage rather than a varying voltage. You can convert the battery charge to AC by using what is called an inverter.

How a Seminar on Why can not you store AC power in battery like DC power?
WE can not change the AC power because AC power has two magnitudes one positive and the another one is negative.when we store the AC power in positive half cycle it store the energy and in the negative half cycles it discharge the energy so it is not possible for store the AC power like DC power
Why can not you store AC power in battery like DC power?
Because ac is of changing polarity. It means the positive terminal becomes negative and vice versa... And this happens 60 times a second! So if we want store this, the terminals of the battery should be changed at the same speed as that of the supply which is not practicable ( and in theory it can be done by a electronic switch which constantly changes its polarity). So its better to convert this ac to dc, store it and then again to ac as in the case of a UPS.
Why cannot store the ac power in battery?
Because batteries have fixed polarity, whereas AC requires that the polarity is switched, normally 50-60 times per second.
Will a 120 volt AC to 12 volt AC adapter charge a 12 volt car battery?
No, the battery is DC not AC.
Will a compaq nc6000 run on ac power when the battery is dead?
A Compaq nc6000 will run on ac power when the battery is dead. The battery is long lasting but it can be charged by using ac power.
How do you make an inverter that stores the energy produced from a dynamo?
That's not the role of an inverter. An inverter is used to change DC to AC, NOT to store energy. If you want to store electrical energy, consider a battery.
Is Battery is DC or AC?
An alkaline battery's output is DC as is any battery.
Is a battery consider AC power?
No. A battery is considered to be DC power.
Should AC circuits go to or from positive battery terminal?
You would never connect any part of an AC circuit to a battery.
Can you charge battery from ac?
No, it must be charged with a battery charger plugged into 120 volts AC which converts it to 12 volts DC.
Where can one purchase an AC Delco battery?
The best place to purchase a AC Delco battery would be your local battery center, if they don't have in stock you can ask them to order. Make sure the battery has a warranty.
Can you charge car battery using 110V AC outlet?
Only if you have a battery charger connected to that 110 volt AC outlet. If you are thinking about connecting live AC current directly to the battery post forget it. That would more than likely cause the battery to explode.
