In some languages "accu" is a false friend, for instance in German. Here the term "battery" ("Batterie") usually refers to a disposable, e.g. Alkaline battery, while rechargeable batteries are called "Akkumulator", or shorter and more common, "Akku". I assume this also applies to some other languages where it may be confusing that in English both disposable and rechargeable cells are simply called "battery".
