timeline of historic inventions
the first dry cell battery was invented in 1887. unlike previous batteries, it used a paste electrolyte instead of a liquid. this was the first battery suitable for portable electrical devices, as it did not spill or break easily and worked in any orientation. the first mass-produced dry cell batteries came in 1896, and the invention of portable electric lights soon followed. portable hand-held electric lights offered advantages in convenience and safety over (combustion) torches, candles and lanterns. the electric lamp was odorless, smokeless, and emitted less heat than combustion-powered lighting. it could be instantly turned on and off, and avoided fire risk.
