It's a very old term, certainly older than cars!  I haven't heard it for
years.

It means anything that'll store a charge, such as lead-acid car batteries.
Capacitors used to be called accumulators as well.  I'm not sure when it
died out, but it'd be rare to see it in post-WWII writings.

I was surprised to see someone use it, next we'll be hearing about the
aether (luminous or otherwise).
