(ELI5) How do electrical eels have electricity in them? And how does it hold?

I’ve always wondered this and I’m not quite sure how it works. Can they turn it on and off? And how do they reproduce if they are electric?

Electric eels make electricity inside their bodies.  Special cells, called electrocytes, are located in the eel's electric organ.  Just like the nerve cells in your body, these cells make an electric current from a chemical reaction.  Unlike the cells in your body, which are connected to conductive fibres, the cells in the eels electric organ are connected to each other.  

They operate together, like the muscle cells in your leg when you jump, and though each cell only makes a small voltage there are many of them and by connecting to each other they can combine their electric output to make a substantial shock.
