Sorry, but you are wrong, battery means exactly chemical battery
Gravity electrical storage is not a battery
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_battery?wprov=sfla1
You linked the Wikipedia page on electric batteries. Of course it's going to talk about the things you put in your remote, because Wikipedia is not a dictionary and that's what most people mean when they say "battery". See also, the pages on energy storage that refer to them as batteries:
You could also look at the Wikipedia disambiguation page for "battery", found at
/wiki/Battery
, which mentions electrochemical batteries as the most common meaning and then has an entire section on energy storage that mentions "Energy storage, including batteries that are not electrochemical".You are wrong.
