What the power sources & storage quiz asks

Questions are generated from this site’s own reference pages for the 8 power sources & storage parts below — batteries, cells, supplies — the juice. Because each one is built from a specific field of a specific part, a wrong answer always has somewhere to send you: the component page the question came from. Nothing here is a fixed question list, so no two runs are identical.
