An Edison cell, specifically the Edison-Lalande cell, is a type of alkaline primary battery. Thomas Edison developed it from an earlier design by Felix Lalande and Georges Chaperon. Essentially, it was an improved version of their original alkaline battery design.
Here's a breakdown of its key aspects:
- Type: Alkaline primary battery (meaning it's non-rechargeable once depleted).
- Developer: Thomas Edison, building on the work of Felix Lalande and Georges Chaperon.
- Original Design: Edison improved upon an existing alkaline battery design created by Lalande and Chaperon.
