New and renewable energy at the present time is not bizarre and it�s commonly heard. Almost all of the countries in the world today are competing to do the research for new and renewable energy development in an effort to face energy crisis in the future due to the decreasing amount of energy derived from fossil along with the increasing energy needs of everyone. Not only due to the increasing energy needs alternative energy resulted increasingly in demand but also the green energy as an alternative energy does not give harmful effects on people and the environment like the fossil energy that produce emissions / exhaust gases that endanger the survival of all creature on this earth. Batteries are chemical devices to save electricity. device capable of generating a DC voltage, ie by converting chemical energy contained in it into electrical energy through the reaction of electro clams, Redox (Reduction - Oxidation). The battery consists of several cells, these cells become energy storage in the form of chemical energy. Negative electrode called the cathode, which serve as electron donors. Positive electrode called the anode which serves as an electron acceptor. Between the anode and the cathode current will flow from the positive pole (anode) to the negative pole (cathode). While the electrons will flow from katode toward the anode. In this study, the batteries are designed to use sea water as electrolyte. Voltage measured for one cell is 0,75 Volt and measurable current of 15mA, to get the required voltage is 10 Volts 15 cells arranged in series. Testing is done by loading a flashlight with 5 LED, the results of this special design battery capable of powering 5 LED for months non stop, this suggests that there are large energy stored in batteries. After charging the battery energy runs out of energy again just by replacing the sea water as electrolyte. These batteries are designed to be placed in the beach area and waterfront, it is intended that the sea water needs as the electrolyte can be easily obtained. The especially designed battery is one of the low technology and easy to be made, because the necessary materials readily available in the manufacture of batteries, the battery does not require extra maintenance and expensive, environmentally friendly and can be used for twentyfour hours as long as there is sea water.
