A Battery is a type of ammunition that can only be used by a laser cannon. Each shot fired from your ship's laser cannons uses a single battery round (1). This also depends on how many laser cannons you have equipped.

Battery colors
Red
You get this color by default. All laser cannons with LCB-10 will shoot red. But the x4 white battery remains the same.
Blue
Blue battery color is when you have all LF-3 laser cannons equipped in your weapon slot. You then use either LCB-10 or MCB-25 ammo.
Green
Green battery color is the same as above, having full LF-3 laser cannons plus using MCB-50 ammo.
White
White laser colors are from UCB-100 ammo, you can have any laser cannons to fire this color.
Yellow rapid fire
This fast type of laser color comes from using RSB-75, which is called Rapid Salvo Battery. Any laser cannons can be used.
Blue sonar circles
You get these by using a shield leech battery called SAB-50 (shield absorbing battery). Any laser cannons can be used.
Purple/White ball
Purple/White battery that resembles a soccer ball is rare ammo that laser color is gained by using a rare ammunition called CBO-100 and is limited to special events. Any type of laser cannon can be used.
Fat lasers
When using a full LF-4 weapon setup, the laser color shot is red (can be tested with one LF-4 on a phoenix ship).
To gain fat laser colors, you need to upgrade your Skill Tree by using log-disks on skills. Specifically the skill is called Bounty Hunter 2 which needs to be maxed.
Other lasers
Some of these were found in the game files and are probably in alpha:
