Rechargeable batteries using bis‐ or tris‐fused tetrathiafulvalenes as an active electrode material exhibit good cycle performance by controlling the number of electrons participating in the redox reaction. The TTPY cell using a four‐electron redox process shows a discharge capacity of 168 mAh g −1 and good cycle‐life stability of 84 % of the initial capacity after 100 cycles (see charge‐discharge curves).
