The short answer is that they don't.
But that doesn't help you much.
Electrons flow from the negative terminal to the positive terminal.
Why?
Negative and positive (opposite) charges attract each other, and like charges repel each other. So you can think of the positive charged end pulling electrons towards it, as well as the negative charged end pushing electrons away from it.
Water makes a good analogy, the battery is a pump, so there is high pressure on the outlet of the pump ( the negative terminal ) through the pipes and whatnot, ( the wire and whatnot) to the inlet of the pump ( the positive charged end ).
Electrons are a negative charge. Using conventional notation current flows from positive to negative poles of a battery, for example. In electron flow convention the electrons flow from negative to positive.
Battery.
Red to positive, black to negative
Connect the two 12 volts batteries in Series. Battery 1 & 2. Connect the negative post (-) of battery 1 to the negative (-) ground cable. Then connect the positive (+) post of battery 1 to the negative (-) post of battery 2. Connect the positive (+) post of battery 2 to the positive (+) cable. You now have 24 volts as the batteries are wired in series.
The positive terminal of the battery would be connected to the positive terminal of the ammeter. The load would then be connected between the two negative terminals, positive side of the load being connected to the negative side of the ammeter.
The positive electrode in a battery is where oxidation occurs, releasing electrons. The negative electrode is where reduction occurs, accepting electrons. This flow of electrons creates an electric current that powers the device.
The positive electrode in a battery is where the electrons are released during the chemical reaction, while the negative electrode is where the electrons are received. This flow of electrons creates an electric current that powers the device connected to the battery.
A battery positive and negative diagram illustrates the flow of electric current within a circuit, showing the direction in which electrons move from the negative terminal to the positive terminal.
The positive terminal in a battery diagram is where electrons flow out, while the negative terminal is where electrons flow in. The positive terminal provides a source of electrons, while the negative terminal accepts electrons, creating a flow of electric current. This flow of electrons is what powers the battery and allows it to provide electrical energy to devices connected to it.

The positive terminal of a battery is where electrons flow out, while the negative terminal is where electrons flow in.
In a battery, electrons flow from the negative terminal (anode) towards the positive terminal (cathode) through the external circuit, creating an electric current.
Batteries have positive and negative terminals due to the flow of electric charge, which is driven by chemical reactions within the battery. The positive terminal, or cathode, attracts electrons, while the negative terminal, or anode, releases electrons. This difference in charge creates an electric potential that allows for the flow of current when the battery is connected in a circuit. Essentially, the positive and negative energies enable the battery to store and release electrical energy efficiently.
A battery contains a charge of electrons. When these electrons leave the battery and travel through a circuit that is described as current.
Electrons flow in an electric circuit from an area of higher potential energy (positive terminal of the battery) to an area of lower potential energy (negative terminal of the battery). This flow of electrons is what creates an electric current in the circuit.
