The batteries serve a big importance and effect on our lives today, and in the past. In 1747, Sir William Watson created the early "battery". He proved a current could be sent through a long wire, used with the conduction through the earth as the other conductor of the circuit. The current was from an electrostatic discharge. Then, following this invention, The Voltaic Pile was created by Alessandro Volta. (Picture below)===== [|Click here for more information!]

Batteries give us the advantage of mobile ability to have energy anywhere we go, as long as they are full of charge.

Today, we use batteries to start our cars, go on computers, power our remote controls, work our electric toothbrushes, play music on stereos, power electric wheel-chairs, operate controls in emergency rooms...everywhere. Telling the great importance of of batteries to us today is definitely not a hard task to complete, but what about back then?===== Back in the 1800s, batteries powered several different things -- such as street lights, telephones, and room-lights. (This is replacing transportation in the dark, writing letters, and candles.)
