Battery is a current visualization in Windows Media Player, featuring many different wave shapes, color hues, and backgrounds. It first appeared in Windows Media Player 8 and still remains listed as a current and selectable visualization to this day. Battery has a large number of presets, adding up to a total of twenty-six presets. That's twice the amount of presets that Ambience has since it has thirteen presets instead. One of the presets is titled "Randomization", and it is the random preset for this visualization. Battery also has a former "sister" visualization originally from 1999, known as Ambience. Other visualizations, such as Alchemy and 3D Alchemy are also relatively similar. All of these visualizations, including Battery, are in the Ambience Family.

Trivia
- This is the current visualization that is still on Windows Media Player, along with Alchemy, and Bars and Waves.
- All of the preset names except Randomization are in lowercase letters.
- Presets like: randomization,brightsphere, cottonstar, illuminator, and my tornado is resting. do not maintain it's own default color.
- On WMP 9, Battery: - Randomization was the default visualization.
- If you select the following visualizations first, such as Lotus, Hizodge, Gemstonematrix, Sepiaswirl, Chemicalnova, Green is not your Enemy, etc. The colors will change, but changing into a different visualization, however, would stay with it's own default color.
- Presets like lotus and cottonstar are very related to each other.
- Selecting presets that have a dot plane on it, then selecting into sleepyspray , event horizon, and brightsphere, the dot plane will remain it's position.
