- Edison-Lalande Battery, 1900-1910 - A chemical reaction hidden within this battery's white porcelain jar creates electricity. Thomas Edison developed this battery from an earlier design by Felix Lalande and Georges Chaperon. Batteries like this powered fans, phonographs, telephones, and a variety of other devices for years in places where the electric grid did not reach, or electric generators were impractical.

- E. G. L. Co. Samson Battery No. 2, 1883-1900 - In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, people used batteries to power telegraph and telephone systems, ring bells and alarms, or spark gasoline engines. The Electric Gas Lighting Company in Boston Massachusetts made this wet cell battery called the Samson. Its glass jar held a conductive solution surrounding the carbon and zinc elements that produced an electrochemical reaction.
