Who invented the 1st Battery?

Question

I recently took a quiz and my instructor said it was earlier than i believed. IN fact i was almost posotive that it wasn't Ben Franklin like he stated.

Answer 1

Found this:

"1748 - Benjamin Franklin first coined the term "battery" to describe an array of charged glass plates.
1780 to 1786 - Luigi Galvani demonstrated what we now understand to be the electrical basis of nerve impulses and provided the cornerstone of research for later inventors like Volta.
1800 - Alessandro Volta invented the voltaic pile and discovered the first practical method of generating electricity. Constructed of alternating discs of zinc and copper with pieces of cardboard soaked in brine between the metals, the voltic pile produced electrical current. The metallic conducting arc was used to carry the electricity over a greater distance. Alessandro Volta's voltaic pile was the first "wet cell battery" that produced a reliable, steady current of electricity.
1836 - Englishman, John F. Daniel invented the Daniel Cell that used two electrolytes: copper sulfate and zinc sulfate. The Daniel Cell was somewhat safer and less corrosive then the Volta cell.
1839 - William Robert Grove developed the first fuel cell, which produced electrical by combining hydrogen and oxygen.
1839 to 1842 - Inventors created improvements to batteries that used liquid electrodes to produce electricity. Bunsen (1842) and Grove (1839) invented the most successful.
1859 - French inventor, Gaston Plante developed the first practical storage lead-acid battery that could be recharged (secondary battery). This type of battery is primarily used in cars today.
1866 - French engineer, Georges Leclanche patented the carbon-zinc wet cell battery called the Leclanche cell. According to The History of Batteries: "George Leclanche's original cell was assembled in a porous pot. The positive electrode consisted of crushed manganese dioxide with a little carbon mixed in. The negative pole was a zinc rod. The cathode was packed into the pot, and a carbon rod was inserted to act as a currency collector. The anode or zinc rod and the pot were then immersed in an ammonium chloride solution. The liquid acted as the electrolyte, readily seeping through the porous cup and making contact with the cathode material. The liquid acted as the electrolyte, readily seeping through the porous cup and making contact with the cathode material."
1868 - Twenty thousand of Georges Leclanche's cells were now being used with telegraph equipment.
1881 - J.A. Thiebaut patented the first battery with both the negative electrode and porous pot placed in a zinc cup.
1881 - Carl Gassner invented the first commercially successful dry cell battery (zinc-carbon cell).
1899 - Waldmar Jungner invented the first nickel-cadmium rechargeable battery.
1901 - Thomas Alva Edison invented the alkaline storage battery.
1949 - Lew Urry invented the small alkaline battery.
1954 - Gerald Pearson, Calvin Fuller and Daryl Chapin invented the first solar battery.

you may desire to be soliciting for the scientific look after maximum cancers and HIV as nicely. this is all relative. while it includes seems, curiously such as you're speaking approximately a lot of those first era electric powered autos that are extra like NEV's. they're quirky looking, affordably made and lightweight. maximum won't be able to even bypass previous 35 mph so as that they are especially plenty golf carts on steroids. the recent electric powered autos that they are mass generating are actually not grotesque. they merely look as though various different subcompact (which many have become especially stylist) like the the Nissan Versa which seems plenty like the Leaf, or a downsized Rogue, the Audi A3 or perhaps the recent Ford Festiva. they're small precise now because of fact our contemporary technologies dictates that, yet which will replace while new technologies upward push up. call for drives that. all of them waiting have low-value conversion electric powered autos, one is declared as the White Zombie, that could beat any gasoline dragster on the lot, no question with a lap time of under 5 seconds on the quarter mile. they are able to place a humorous automobile next to it, and jointly as the tires are smoking, the Zombie is all waiting a hundred ft down the music, and doubling speed swifter than then dragster will attain. The torque in an electric powered automobile can harm human beings's necks if not adjusted wisely. Batteries have become extra useful, and charging technologies is recuperating precise now. they have a quickly charger than can cost the present batteries which would be on the Leaf in 15 minutes. In some years this is going to probable be even swifter, and doubtless easier. With the hassle on potential interior the battery, the load of the motor vehicle dictates distance, so in case you're a small individual, and you're actually not wearing all varieties of junk on your automobile, the Leaf is desperate at a hundred miles formerly the subsequent cost. You throw in 4 chunky human beings and the kitchen sink and you may get 40 miles out of it. a minimum of the forged information is that our government is poised to take the $7500 tax credit and bump it to $9500 for paying for a sparkling electric powered automobile. which will take the Leaf to $23,500 at tax time. those autos have become extra much less costly continuously.

Answer#2

Alessandro Volta invented the battery in 1745-1827

Answer 4

Invented by Alessandro Volta

Answer 5

Samuel H. Energizerbunny

Answer 6

It was a female (forgot her name)
She was desperate to get her vibe working and somehow figured out how to make a 32 volt battery. She never let go of that vibe ever again.

Answer 7

it was A.Volta, who invented the first battery.
it consisted of coppersulphate, zinc and copper plates and a bulb.
