7 DC From Batteries Purest Form Bagdad Battery probably the first. Used for electroplating gold onto silver objects (~ 200 BC 200 AD). Voltaic pile invented by the Italian physicist Alessandro Volta in Battery coined by Benjamin Franklin for an arrangement of multiple Leyden jars. Railroads used batteries for telegraph and signals. Modern hybrid locomotives employ large arrays of batteries Model Railroad Uses E.G., Wireless Throttles Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) Rechargeable Bagdad Battery NASA Publication Symbol AC-DC-DCC4_blue.ppt x 8/1/2012 Slide 7
