DescriptionVoltaic pile battery.png	English: Drawing of Alessandro Volta's voltaic pile, invented in 1800, the first electric battery. It was built of many individual cells, each consisting of a disk of copper and a disk of zinc or silver separated by a disk of cloth soaked in acid or brine. A 23 cell pile like this would have produced around 36 volts. Alterations: removed caption.
