First Laptop Battery
Like me you may have thought the first the battery invented motorcyle battery for harley davidson or at lease the the car battery was first. You can imagine the shock I had to find out that three ancient Iraq objects, a ceramic pot, a copper cylinder and an iron rod, were found, all together, in 1936 during excavations in Baghdad. The copper cylinder was located within the ceramic pot and the iron rod was located in the copper cylinder. On the top and bottom of the copper cylinder was found bitumen. These items taken together form a primitive electric cell. Yes that is right 2300 year old laptop battery.
