Animated diagrams show how energy is stored and discharged in Edison storage batteries

How Edison batteries function. The are also known as nickel-iron battery or NiFe batteries. An animated diagram shows how nickel iron alkaline storage batteries such as Edison batteries store and generate energy. The diagram shows the battery, generator, switch, motor, and a light bulb. An early nickel-iron Edison battery in wooden box. A later version of the nickel-iron battery invented by Thomas A. Edison in 1909. Pie chart showing the market share of Edison batteries over other portable batteries in 1926. Photograph of German-born American mathematician and electrical engineer Dr. Charles Proteus Steinmetz, "The Wizard of Schenectady". Slate bearing a commentary on from Dr. Steinmetz claiming "complete reversibility" of the Edison battery reaction. Diagram shows the reversible cycle of a portable battery. Animation in the diagram shows how energy is stored in the battery- the oxygen contained in the negative plate is forced to the positive plate by the charging current. The animation demonstrates the discharge of the battery. Plates from used Edison batteries show little decay after years of use.
