2. It can be expensive. Because most forms of chemical energy come from organic or naturally occurring items, accessing the resource can be quite expensive. We must mine coal before we can burn it. One must cut wood to size so it can fit into the fireplace or woodstove and that occurs after the tree has been harvested.

How Batteries Store and Release Energy: Explaining Basic
Batteries are valued as devices that store chemical energy and convert it into electrical energy. Unfortunately, the standard description of electrochemistry does not explain specifically where or how the energy is stored in a battery; explanations just in terms of electron transfer are easily shown to be at odds with experimental observations.
