How was the Battery Invented?
Alessandro Volta invented the first battery in 1800. Volta was an Italian physicist who discovered how to generate electricity by stacking alternating layers of copper and zinc discs separated by saltwater-soaked cardboard. The Voltaic Pile was the first battery capable of producing a continuous and consistent flow of electrical current. The design of the battery has evolved and improved over time, resulting in the batteries we use today in our electronic devices.
