The power from a battery can be renewable if you can recharge it free from the sun, or the wind. You could get a rechargeable battery and rig it up with a little solar panel and recharge it. Then its power is a renewable resource. But not the battery.
Normal batteries that you buy and throw away, or rechargeable ones, that you buy and then recharge from the mains, are NOTa renewable resource.
Aside:
As an example when you consider the carbon footprint of electricity produced from coal fired plants, the emissions created to power a battery powered electric car can exceed those of a efficient gasoline powered or hybrid car when compared as gm CO2/km driven
As an example in Alberta the tonne Coal Fired plant's emission is 1.005 CO2/MWhr. This means a battery would "own" 7 kg/charge. The battery is good for about 58 km/charge or 121 g CO2/km. This is the equivalent of a car getting 4.8 L/100 km
A Prius Hybrid gets 4 L/100 km or about 100 gm CO2/km
No they (some are) rechargable...but that doesn't mean renewable. Renewable resources only refers to what nature provides on a more or less constant basis like sun (solar), hydro power (water), Aeolean (wind) and tidal (tides in seas).
No, a battery is not a source of nuclear energy. A battery stores electrical energy chemically and releases it as electricity when connected to a circuit. Nuclear energy is generated through the process of splitting atoms in nuclear reactions to produce heat, which is then converted into electricity.

Is nuclear energy stored?
Nuclear energy is not stored in the traditional sense, like electricity in a battery. Nuclear energy is generated through nuclear reactions in a nuclear reactor. The heat produced during these reactions can be converted into electricity and stored in the power grid.
what are the 5 forms of energy and it's example?
The five forms of energy are: Mechanical energy - a moving car Thermal energy - boiling water Chemical energy - a battery Electrical energy - lightning Nuclear energy - nuclear power plant
Is fission nuclear energy chemical energy or mechanical energy?
Nuclear fission is a type of nuclear reaction that converts nuclear energy into thermal energy (heat), which can then be used to generate mechanical energy (such as electricity). So, fission nuclear energy originates as nuclear energy and can be converted into mechanical energy.
What energy is the energy that is stored in an atoms nucleus?
The energy stored in an atom's nucleus is nuclear energy. This energy is released through processes like nuclear fusion or fission, which involve manipulating the nucleus of an atom to release large amounts of energy.
Is there nuclear energy in nuclear bombs?
Yes, nuclear bombs utilize nuclear energy. They rely on the process of nuclear fission or fusion to create an explosive release of energy.
Is a battery nuclear chemical or mechanical energy?
A battery is chemical energy creating electrical energy. Nuclear is cause by nuclear material either decaying or undergoing fusion, only present in nuclear material. Mechanical energy is a physical force cause by the transfer of kinetic energy.
Is a battery chemical mechanical or nuclear?
A battery is chemical energy creating electrical energy. Nuclear is cause by nuclear material either decaying or undergoing fusion, only present in nuclear material. Mechanical energy is a physical force cause by the transfer of kinetic energy.
What is an example of converting nuclear energy to electrical energy?
nuclear power plantnuclear battery (SNAP thermoelectric power source for space vehicles)
What are some kinds of potential energy?
Energy stored in a spring; gravitational potential energy; chemical energy; nuclear energy.
A machine that will convert mechanical, nuclear, or chemical energy into electrical energy?
