This might be a double definition.

'battery' is the first definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'where bird is served?' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't see how one could define the other.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for cell that I've seen before include "Prisoner's or monk's room" , "may be wet or dry?" , "Little room" , "Unit of animal or plant structure" , "Small room for confining a prisoner" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
