Igikapu ca bateri ni ikintu gikozwe mu buryo bwihariye kugira ngo umuntu abike amabateri. Igikorwa cayo nyamukuru ni ugutanga ikibanza gitekanye kandi gishikamye ku mabateri, kugira ngo bashobore gukora neza cane no kwagura ubuzima bwavyo. Ivyuma vy’amabateri bikoreshwa mu bikorwa vyinshi, harimwo ariko bitagarukiye ku mirongo y’amashanyarazi, uburyo bwo guhanahana amakuru, ibibanza vy’amakuru, n’ibikoresho bitandukanye vy’inganda.
Ivyuma vy’amabateri birahambaye cane cane mu bikoresho vy’amashanyarazi nk’ivy’ubuhinga bwa none. Bikoreshwa cane hamwe n’amashanyarazi atashobora guhagarara (UPS) canke ubuhinga bwa DC kugira ngo ashobore gutanga ubushobozi bwo gukoresha ibikoresho bihambaye nk’ibikoresho vyo kugenzura, ibikoresho vyo gukingira, n’ibikoresho vyo gukoresha ubuhinga bwa none. Iyo ubushobozi nyamukuru bwo kunanirwa, amabateri ari muri kabineti ya bateri ashobora kwihutira gufata, kugira ngo ashobore guhagarara neza no kwizigirwa kw’uburyo bw’amashanyarazi.
