- History_of_the_battery abstract "Prior to the rise of electrical generators and electrical power grids from around the end of the 19th century, batteries were the main source of electricity. Successive improvements in battery technology permitted the rise of major electrical advances, from early scientific studies to the rise of telegraphs and telephones, leading eventually to portable computers, mobile phones, electric cars and multitudes of other electrical devices. Several commercially important types of battery were developed, in the form of "wet cells" which were open containers to hold the liquid electrolyte and metallic electrodes. When the electrodes were completely consumed, the wet cell could be renewed by replacement of the electrodes and electrolyte. Open containers were unsuitable for mobile or portable use; the mid-1880s development of the dry cell by Yai Sakizō (屋井 先蔵) of Japan, then patented in 1892, eliminated the risk of spilling liquids. "Primary" batteries could produce current as soon as they were assembled, but once the active elements had been consumed it was impossible to return electrical energy and restore the battery to its initial condition. The development of the lead-acid battery and subsequent "secondary" or "rechargeable" types allowed energy to be restored to the cell, extending the life of permanently assembled cells.".
