Wrong again. Batteries have been found predating that.Egypt may have had
them a lot earlier. As far as I can tell, batteries were first used for
electroplating. The jewelers were plating cheap metals to look like
gold. It was an easy way to defraud the wealthy.

This is a later example. It may not have survived the Neocon
bombing/looting.
