Are There Any Organic Electrolytes in Nature and Batteries?

While mineral salts like sodium and potassium are inorganic by definition, the term "organic electrolytes" is often used to describe electrolytes sourced from organically grown produce or those based on carbon compounds in laboratory settings. In nature, the electrolytes found in fruits and vegetables are not inherently organic compounds but are minerals contained within an organic matrix. However, in science, specialized batteries use electrolytes made from carbon-based organic molecules.
