Charge Towards National Battery Day

Posted on 2nd February, 2016

National Battery Day – Thursday 18th February

Alessandro Volta invented the battery in 1800, (the Voltaic Pile) leading to Alessandro being made a Count by Napoleon Bonaparte due to his world changing invention.

Following on from Alessandros invention, batteries evolved further when in 1899 French physicist Gaston Plante invented the rechargeable battery.
