State Batteries are a historic part of the gold mining industry in Western Australia. Their history commenced after the discovery of gold at Coolgardie in 1892. State Batteries were developed by the Western Australian State Government to support the treatment of ore containing gold or other valuable metals produced by prospectors or small miners.

By 1950 there were close to 100 operating Batteries, either privately or Government owned, however this figure reduced to less than 50 by 1958. A Government functional review of Batteries was completed in 1982 and subsequently all Batteries were closed by 1987. The Gold Corporation currently has 22 of the former State Batteries under its management order.
