Accumulator was the name given to the rechargeable cells which our parents or grandparents had to have in order to listen to the wireless (as it was called in those days). Battery is the name given for a collective of cells, as in "battery of guns", etc. therefore the term accumulater does not really apply to a battery, it is more like a battery is a collection of accumulaters.
I have no doubt "he who has all the answers" will correct me on this
