BATTERY top
You need three things to make a battery: cathode, anode and salt. The salt is the source of power, the cathode transfers charges to the device, and the anode returns the used charge back to the salt.
The first battery used frog legs to act as "salt", zinc as cathode and copper as anode. Just take a look at the battery near the engine of your car to see how far the technology has evolved to date.
An automotive battery is a type of rechargeable battery that supplies electric energy to an automobile. This refers to an SLI battery (starting, lighting, ignition). Its purpose to power the starter motor, the lights, and the ignition system of a vehicle’s engine. Automotive SLI batteries are usually lead-acid type.
