But not all batteries are created equal, and although the quest for perfect power goes back thousands of years, a continuous current could not be harnessed until 1800 with copper, zink, and a saltwater cloth. But, what exactly is a battery? It’s a two-sided (positive and negative) chemical reaction container that allows electrons to run from one side to another, and harnesses the electricity generated (the electrolyte). His primitive device consisted of a jar designed to hold electrical charges passing from one spinning glass tube to another. Let’s get energized.Īmong the many things we can thank American polymath Benjamin Franklin for is the invention of the battery.
