Allesandro Volta, inventor of the first battery, was born on February 18, 1745. That's why February 18th is National Battery Day. Every great invention deserves a special day, doesn't it? Even if you've never celebrated this little-known holiday, it's not too late to start!
If you have a car, cell phone, computer, flashlight, or a wireless mouse, then you have batteries, and you may not realize how much they've improved in the past few centuries! If you aren't already using rechargeable batteries in your gadgets, today is your day to begin.
