History of the Battery

After reading through the timeline that details the creation and constant updates to the battery, I've learned numerous things that would have slipped by. A battery is an electric cell that actually contains negative and positive electrode and two conductors. Each of these parts work together to produce a chemical reaction that allows the battery to 'work'. Benjamin Franklin is coined with the name 'battery', but the actual creator of the battery is credited to Alessandro Volta. Advancements of this nature are mind blowing. It's hard to imagine someone being able to actually discover and create something. Some minds are able to imagine and then put their ideas to practice. I would've never learned about the history of batteries if it wasn't taught in this section of class.
