The thing is, it didn't evolve that way. Battery is a technical term with a defined meaning. Colloquial use by people ignorant of it cannot change the technical definition, because technical definitions are not set colloquially like most language is.
Saying it evolved that way is like saying "windmills" generate electricity. The term is wrong, and anyone doing anything meaningful in that industry knows they're not mills, they're wind turbine generators, or turbines. People might know what you mean when you use the wrong term, but that doesn't make your term in any way correct.
