National Battery Day is celebrated on February 18th, a date chosen for its significance in the history of battery development. This day marks the birthday of Alessandro Volta, an Italian physicist and chemist born in 1745, who is credited with inventing the electric battery. His pioneering work laid the foundation for the development of batteries and their subsequent role in powering our world and accelerating decarbonization efforts.

The electric battery invented by Volta, known as the voltaic pile, was the first device capable of providing a steady, lasting current of electricity. This invention was a major breakthrough in the field of science and paved the way for countless technological advancements. Today, batteries come in many shapes and sizes, from tiny button cells used in watches to large battery packs that power electric vehicles.
