How battery was first invented

The battery was first invented by Alessandro Volta in 1800s. It is not meant that before 1800 there were no any inventions of battery but infact there were many scientist who just went on confirming and bringing conclusions on this experiments.The experiment was done by Benjamin franklin but it was done on the static electricity that would go away or waste away on a single discharge. So the first concept on it was brought by Alessandro Volta by the inspiration from the experiment of Galvani on frog.
         He first came to touch about the animal electricity and was surprised to see when two different metals were touched to each other they conducted electricity and when he placed tinfoil and silver on his tongue. He did not have a much effect on it but had a very sour taste though. He was not familiar to why this happen then one professor of biology found the leg of frog twitched when metal was touched to them. He also hung that leg outside on open area because he thought that electric spark has caused his leg twitched and so thunderstorms are also a good way to get charge. So he put it outside but  without the thunderstorm also it twitched the legs and from this he said that the animal possess "animal electricity".and he finally published his result and from here Alessandro Volta was able to claimed that the sour taste which has experienced is of electric charge.
         Volta then experimented that if the saliva of his was able to conduct the charge then he began to searched for other ways by which he could conduct the charge in the same way as the saliva does finally he got the one the brine which is the strong solution of salt and water he also found that if he had plates many pieces of dissimilar metal disks,making sandwithches  of the cardboard which is soaked in the brine between them and finally he got the battery which was long lasting and effective and this news was travelled fast among all the people and even to the Napoleon of France who made him the senator in Volta's native kingdom of Lombardy. By this news every one was very happy and had given this good news to the royal society of London describing all the facts and structures of the modern battery which is the first and most latest inventions of that time.
        And this is the invention which is proved to be a blessings from the god or angel to us the first battery which the Volta has made is named by "Voltaic cell" which is the first source of continuous electrical current. Hence in this way the modern battery has been born from the concept of Volta and has proved to be one of the most important boon of science.
