A battery is described comprising: an anode comprising as the anode active materials one or more conjugated backbone polymers and one or more electroactive materials selected from the group consisting of metals which alloy with alkali metals and alkali metal cation inserting materials; an electrolyte comprising an organic solvent and an alkali-metal salt, and a cathode. The alkali-metal cations from the electrolyte are inserted into the anode as a metal alloy or as an inserted ion in the alkali metal cation inserting material during the charging of the battery.
