“Cites per paper” is a two-year cited-by rate computed from OpenAlex. It is not a Clarivate Journal Impact Factor — we neither compute nor license that metric (how the two differ). Citation rates differ enormously between fields, so compare within a discipline. What the other figures mean: journal quartile, SJR, h-index and article processing charge.

The quartile is the one Scimago prints for each category. Rank is the journal's position by SJR among the journals Scimago lists in that category (#1 is the highest); “—” means we hold no rank consistent with that quartile. The document count is what Scopus indexed that year, which can be lower than a journal's full output. Source: SCImago Journal Rank 2025 edition, from Scopus data (scimagojr.com, CC BY-NC).
Batteries is Q1 in 2 of its 3 Scimago subject categories (2025 edition; best category Energy Engineering and Power Technology: Q1, #72 of 289), with SJR 0.921 (Scimago) and an h-index of 83 (OpenAlex). Listed in DOAJ, Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed.

Frequently asked
Is Batteries a predatory journal?
Our screening does not flag Batteries. That is not a guarantee of quality — it means the venue is not on Beall's archive (frozen since 2017) and does not match our name-pattern heuristic. It is listed in DOAJ, Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed, which is a positive signal.
Is Batteries indexed in Scopus or Web of Science?
Per our venue index, Batteries appears in: DOAJ, Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed. Index membership changes over time — confirm on the index's own site before relying on it.
What is the impact factor of Batteries?
Papers in Batteries are cited about 8.5 times each within two years of publication, and Scimago places it in Q1, with an h-index of 83. Those are the open equivalents: the Clarivate Journal Impact Factor is a proprietary metric we neither compute nor license, so we show the two-year citation rate and Scimago quartile instead — they answer the same question of how heavily the journal is cited. A citation rate is a property of a field as much as of a journal.
What Scimago quartile is Batteries (Q1, Q2, Q3, or Q4)?
In the Scimago Journal Rank 2025 edition, Batteries is Q1 in 2 of its 3 subject categories and Q2 in the other 1. By category: Energy Engineering and Power Technology: Q1, #72 of 289; Electrical and Electronic Engineering: Q1, #173 of 811; Electrochemistry: Q2, #19 of 64. Its best category quartile is Q1. Quartiles split the journals in a subject category into four equal groups by SJR, so Q1 is the most-cited quarter and Q4 the least; Batteries is cited about 8.5 times per paper over two years, with an h-index of 83.
What is the Web of Science (JCR) quartile of Batteries?
The Web of Science quartile comes from Clarivate's Journal Citation Reports (JCR), a proprietary product we neither license nor compute — so we cannot state a JCR quartile for Batteries. The open equivalent is its best Scimago quartile, Q1 in Energy Engineering and Power Technology and 1 other category, derived from Scopus citation data. Because JCR ranks against Web of Science and Scimago against Scopus, the two can differ, so check Clarivate's site directly if you need the JCR quartile specifically.
Is Batteries open access?
Our index records its access status as "gold". Where this is derived from publisher-level signals rather than works-level data it is a heuristic, so confirm on the journal's own site — particularly if an article processing charge matters to you.
What is the article processing charge (APC) to publish in Batteries?
Article processing charge (APC): 2,700 CHF per accepted article (DOAJ). Fee waivers are available. The exact charge can vary by article type and any fee waiver, so confirm the current amount on the journal's own site.
How long does Batteries take to publish a paper?
Submission to first decision for Batteries takes about 16 days (median) — Publisher-reported. Treat it as indicative rather than a guarantee: editorial times vary by article type, reviewer availability and season, and a self-reported figure is the journal's own. We do not hold a peer-review acceptance rate for Batteries.
