Why is it feminine?

Bateria is feminine in Portuguese because it derives from the Latin feminine noun "batteria" (related to "battere," to beat), which referred to a group of military units or percussion instruments, and Portuguese retained the feminine gender of its Latin ancestor. The -ia ending, typically marking feminine nouns in Portuguese, further reinforced this gender classification.
