Ben
Franklin
(W)coined
the term
"battery" in
1748 -- a few
years before
his famous kite
and lightning
experiment. He
also gave us
the terms
"positive,"
"negative," and
"charge."
Alessandro
Volta
(W)
in 1800
invented the
Voltaic pile, a
precursor of
the battery and
determined that
the most
effective
electricity
producing pair
of dissimilar
metals was zinc
and silver.
